HEAT ADVISORY

Due to the heat, our staff this week will be watering flowers and heading home for the day. If you are hoping to stop in later in the day, PLEASE call ahead to ensure there is someone still here sweating it out at the greenhouse, and please remember to keep your visits short and stay hydrated! These temperatures are dangerous!

CLOSED JULY 4TH

We Grow Dreams will be closed for the 4th of July holiday to allow our team to enjoy the holiday weekend with family and friends. We hope that all of our wonderful customers are able to sit back and enjoy their beautiful flowers purchased here over this long summer weekend!

Our TRUNK SALE starts July 1st!

Our Trunk Sale is THE sale that our customers look forward to each and every year! We’re sorry it’s not the most optimal temperature for planting or spending large amounts of time in the garden, but you could easily create some nice pots in a shaded area, and still take hydration breaks often! Naturally, we are eager to see our beautiful plants out the door, because while we water often, our MAIN focus this time of year are our 10,000 mums that we are growing in the back! Stop by to pick up a trunkload of plants, save them from the compost heap before August, and help to support our mission to keep our team members working here all year.

Enjoy a Meal & help to support our Capital Campaign!

We are excited for an evening where we don’t have to decide what to cook! We Grow Dreams is partnering with our local Panera Bread at 167 Danada Square East in Wheaton next month on Friday July 17th for a dinner hour fundraiser! Between the hours of 4PM-8PM that evening, present the linked flyer at checkout so that We Grow Dreams receives up to 30% of revenue from your purchase. What a delicious way to support the work that we do here at the greenhouse and help us to continue growing and building a great work environment for our growing team member population!

Thank you for supporting our mission to provide job training and employment for adults with disabilities, and thank you Panera Bread for offering this to worthy nonprofit organizations!

LAUNCH: We Grow Dreams Capital Campaign

We Grow Dreams has launched a Capital Campaign this year to help us to provide much needed updates to our facilities in order to accomodate more team members for our job training program. We have a goal of $2,000,000 to update our office and retail space, upgrade our restrooms, and help to reduce our long standing loan for the property. Please help us to acheive this goal and donate today! There are many options available to provide donations via our GoFundMe Page, or stop in to the greenhouse to drop off a donation too! We very much appreciate your support of the work that we do here!

Our Mission
To provide people with disabilities the opportunity to lead fulfilling lives and to train and work in a supportive, safe, and caring environment while producing and providing products and services to the community. In this pursuit, we honor the concepts of human dignity, respect, hard work, fellowship, and friendship.
