🌿 What is the Cultivate & Connect Senior Garden Wellness Program?

Cultivate & Connect is a mobile garden wellness experience designed specifically for seniors. We bring hands-on, garden-inspired activities directly to nursing homes, group homes, and senior communities. Each session focuses on creativity, relaxation, and connection — helping residents engage their senses and enjoy the beauty of nature year-round.

🪴 What types of activities do you offer?

Our activities change with the seasons! Depending on the time of year, we may offer:

• Fall & Thanksgiving decorating sessions

• Pumpkin or floral design workshops

• Container and herb garden builds

• Seed planting & nature crafts

• Aromatherapy and garden memory projects
  All sessions are sensory-friendly, inclusive, and fully adaptable to your residents’ needs.

🌸 Do you bring all the supplies?

Yes! We handle everything — materials, setup, and cleanup. Your staff only needs to provide a table or activity space for the session.

🌼 How long are the sessions?

Most sessions last between 2 to 3 hours, depending on the group size and activity type. We can adjust timing to fit your community’s schedule or event calendar.

🌱 How much does it cost?

Packages start at $350 for up to 10 participants. Larger group pricing and custom program options are also available. Travel fees may apply for locations outside of Milwaukee, Waukesha, and Ozaukee Counties.

🍁 How far in advance should we book?

We recommend scheduling your session at least 2–3 weeks in advance, especially during holidays or seasonal peak times (spring planting, fall harvest, Thanksgiving).

🌻 Do you offer ongoing or recurring sessions?

Yes! Many of our partner facilities book monthly or seasonal programs. We can create a customized calendar that aligns with your activity schedule or wellness initiatives.

🌾 Are the activities accessible for residents with mobility or cognitive challenges?

Absolutely. Every session is sensory-friendly and designed to meet participants where they are. We adapt materials, table heights, and pacing so everyone can participate comfortably — including residents with memory loss or physical limitations.

🌼 Can family members or staff participate too?

Of course! These sessions are wonderful for building intergenerational and community connections. Staff and family are welcome (and encouraged) to join in on the fun.
