Helping Hands in the Garden is a volunteer organization founded with the intent to aid cancer patients during their treatment, when the comfort of a living environment will complement their medical treatment and recovery. Removing the stress of worrying about how a beloved garden will be cared for during a difficult treatment course also buoys spirits and aids recovery.
Created in 2009, Helping Hands in the Garden supports cancer patients during their treatment with the care of their gardens. Cancer patients have many concerns - they and their families do not need to worry about their gardens when there are dedicated volunteers willing to lend a hand. With over 25 volunteers, we have assisted 91 families with their gardens since 2009. Our volunteers include a team of dedicated landscape industry leaders working with landscape students, people who love to weed, and cancer survivors. We have been richly rewarded by our many experiences.
Helping Hands in the Garden has established several ongoing programs to further its mission. The core effort is of course the garden care that is provided for cancer patients. To support this core mission, we have developed several support programs, including fundraisers, volunteer continuing education, and workshops. Through educational training and enrichment programs, we are promoting the therapeutic benefits of gardening to the participant and community.
