1. Bowtie gardens - the gardens that give, is a stem-based, urban farming program of bowtie kids. Our bowtie gardens mission is to create connection, community, and fun for kids through gardening, so they grow to nurture themselves and others. Through gardening, they are able to understand the interconnectedness of plants as a metaphor for self-empowerment, self-improvement, and self- reflection. Children and their families learn tools to better manage the disruptions they face that result from chronic pain and no longer see themselves in isolation but as active members of a larger community that they can confidently embrace.
