HAPPY HOLIDAYS! We Grow Dreams will be CLOSED starting Sunday, 12/21/2025- Monday, 1/5/2026

Join us for our 19th Annual Bowl A Thon!

We Grow Dreams is gearing up for our 19th annual Bowlathon Fundraiser, which will take place on February 22, 2026, at Parkside Lanes in Aurora! This event plays a crucial role in supporting our efforts to provide job training and employment opportunities for young adults with disabilities from across the western suburbs. We currently work with 47 remarkable individuals who participate in our greenhouse programs independently, with support, or through partnerships with local organizations and school district transition programs.

Throughout the year, we remain committed to maintaining our property so that our plants and facilities are ready to thrive in every season. The skills our team members acquire—ranging from practical life abilities to valuable workplace competencies—are vital steppingstones that have enabled many participants to secure employment here at We Grow Dreams or in local businesses throughout the region. Our staff and volunteers are dedicated to advancing our mission, and your encouragement means the world to us. We invite you to consider sponsoring our event, donating an item, or joining us in person for an afternoon filled with bowling, camaraderie, and celebration – follow the Bowlathon.net button for more information!

The Holidays are HERE!

We have had a busy holiday season crafting many reindeer, gnomes, fun crafts and many more decorative items for homes and gifts! We could not be more thankful to our supporters that come to see us in these colder, slower times to see what our team is working on, enjoy the warmth of the greenhouse, and support the work that we do here. If you haven’t done so already, be sure to stop in to see what we have for you to put under the tree, stuff into a stocking, or make your home just a little more cheery for the season.

.

In the last weeks of the year, the greenhouse will be closed for the holidays, and we will begin the big reset from the holiday season to another year of production. We are eager to grow into 2026 with new varieties and new plans for the season! Don’t forget about us next year as we continue our mission to provide employment for adults with disabilities.

We're still open 5 days a week!

We Grow Dreams remains open all year with quality houseplants, herbs, and succulents while we prepare for the new year! However, because the daylight is lacking, our hours will be decreasing! We’ll remain open 9AM-2PM Tuesdays-Saturdays to keep our team members busy!
