Cultivating community, growing dreams
Welcome to Keep Growing Dreams, where we cultivate community-led healing gardens and wellness series that honor culture and community wisdom. We're investing in our communities to increase well-being, one garden at a time. Join us in creating a more beautiful and sustainable future.
Our mission
We collaborate with communities to build a thriving future from the ground up. Our work strengthens local ecosystems by supporting small business growth, creating equitable food pathways from farms to schools, and fostering well-being through cultural programming and educational gardens
Our approach
We take a community-led approach, working closely with local residents and organizations to design and maintain gardens that reflect their unique needs and cultural heritage. Our gardens are not just beautiful spaces, but also places of learning, healing, and community building.
