We Welcome Your Group!

We are so happy that we are able to offer tours to groups that are interested in our mission and how our greenhouse is operated! We are happy to share what we do with as many people as we can while learning about them! We recently had this group from STEPS (Supported Training Experiences Post Secondary) tour our facility and we have been giving tours to other groups as well! Later on, two individuals in the STEPS program who came to tour our greenhouse and were interested in our greenhouse program called in for a telephone interview with our executive director, Gregg Bettcher!

Our summer college employee, Bethany Valente, has a creative flair and designed this fun representation of the greenhouse in the autumn. Isn’t it great?

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.

COVID 19 Statement

In accordance with Illinois guidelines, everyone is encouraged to wear masks for their own safety while in the greenhouse, unless temperatures are extreme. Our Team Members will do their best to keep their masks on too. Masks are optional outside.
