Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

We aim to plant 100 gardens in communities and rehabilitation centres throughout Israel.
Each garden will be an eco-system of its own and will connect the rehabilitation centre, the nearby community and local businesses through volunteering days. It will create a long-term commitment to each other, and a dedicated therapeutic plan to the residence of the institutions. A web of rehabilitation plant nurseries will be established throughout Israel. We will train people with disabilities to work as ecological gardeners and support micro-businesses through a digital platform to sell their plant nurseries products directly to our homes.
