The mission of DeXa Family Gardens, Inc. is to advocate, educate, and empower the community to grow gardens. As we share our knowledge with others, we hope to improve community health, one seed at a time.
Improving community health, one seed at a time.
Gardening quiets the mind, connects people with the earth, and grounds people within their local neighborhood. Studies have shown that gardening is proven to be significantly beneficial to your psychological health as well as mental and physical wellbeing. Working productively in the garden can increase serotonin levels in the brain, causing you to be happier throughout the day. Gardening can also improve your overall mood. It is our belief that with benefits like that, everyone should be gardening.
Garden Education
DFG educates the community through workshops and hands-on training events throughout the year. Teaching both youth and seniors the wonder of gardening is core to our mission.
Empowerment
DFG empowers community members with the tools and resources needed to help them grow their own sustainable gardens through our “Garden in a Box” and Garden Kits for Kids program. DFG also distributes organic plant and vegetable seeds empowering community members to grow gardens.
Advocacy & Support for Communities
DFG is a year-round advocate for sustainable gardening within communities of color and those within food deserts with limited access to fresh food.
“Gardening adds years to your life and life to your years”
