Welcome to Milford Gardens!

Milford Gardens is a nature-oriented
program designed to teach youth about ownership, stewardship and
teamwork while helping them deal effectively with stress and

attachment issues.


Located on a one acre plot of land just west of Milford, youth will plant, grow and harvest the garden as well as manage the selling, consuming and giving of all garden produce. Families of the youth in our program and members of the community will also share in the garden harvest.

Built around Garden Based Learning, this field therapy program provides relevant work-integrated and community service activities for youth.

We believe that supporting personal growth and fostering each person's God-given abilities can have a huge, long-term impact on the lives of children, their families, and the communities in which they live.

Our ultimate goal is for Milford Gardens to be self-sustaining and earn a profit from the sale of the extra produce. Income from sold goods will go toward the operational cost of the garden as well as a scholarship fund for post-secondary education.

We invite you to join us on the adventures we will have this summer!

WOW!! And the Story Continues.......

We received a generous donation from one of Lawrence's friends.

We were able to buy soaker hose and all of the pepper and tomato cages!!!! 

Hooray! 

Thank you for your generosity! 

I feel like the story goes like this:
                      the son had a father,
because the father was a good man,
                     because the man was a boy,
because the boy was changed,
                     because he worked in the garden,
because someone brought him to the garden,
                     because someone planted the garden,
because someone believed in the garden. 

We never know how a seemingly insignificant act on our part can change the future of many generations.

This is how we see it.

Thank you all for your support!
