Ok, so why plants?
Did you know...
It's scientifically proven that working with plants has the ability to reduce symptoms related to stress and anxiety, depression and PTSD?
Plants can also help to increase your bone strength, cognitive skills, self-esteem and confidence!
Come learn about how you can care for and nurture plants right in your own home.
Your plant family is waiting.
You can help.

Mission: Windowsill
Each month, we offer over 20 classes across the Philadelphia region for Veterans and Caregivers to work with plants and plant based materials. Check with your local VA or Vet Center to learn how you can participate.
About us.
Plants. They surround us. They're in our food, in the clothes we wear, in the medication we take and even in the buildings around us. Plants are an integral part of all of us.
Our team is a group of amateur and professional gardeners that believes in the power of plants. We also have military ties and a sense of responsibility when it comes to serving those that have served our country for generations.
