How It Works

For Individuals in Recovery:

• Work Hands-On With Plants – Gain meaningful employment through sustainable farming.
• Develop Career & Business Skills – Learn plant cultivation, harvesting, to cooking. 
• Earn Income & Build Financial Stability – The hope is to plant gardens onsite at recovery locations. Wages support reintegration into society.
• Connect With a Community – Work alongside mentors and peers who understand the journey of recovery.

For the Community:

• Support Recovery-Grown Products – Every purchase from the gardens will contribute to sustainable employment for those in recovery.
• Partner With Us – Restaurants, grocery stores, and local buyers can source premium, sustainably-grown produce directly from Plant Doctor 405 gardens.
• Become a Volunteer or Advocate – Engage with workshops, mentorship, or sponsorship opportunities to aid recovery efforts.

Our first step is to raise awareness by growing and donating 250 1 gallon tomato plants to individuals in recovery, giving them the opportunity to cultivate and care for their own produce. "Grow Something" 

Next, we aim to engage addiction recovery groups, homes, and clubs in not just growing but also consuming and potentially selling the harvest to help fund their missions.

Over time, we plan to expand to larger community gardens and establish local distribution channels, selling directly to consumers, grocery stores, and restaurants. Along the way, we will teach participants how to grow, harvest, and market their produce, ensuring they gain valuable skills. 

The ultimate goal is to offset a significant portion of program food budgets with homegrown produce while generating additional funding through sales.
