At Gateways we are very excited about our ever expanding gardening program. Kids who participate get hands on experience working the with the soil and planting the seeds. Through this program, residents not only learn the value of hard work, but gain knowledge in growing and caring for their own produce, food safety, and cooking. We donate much of our produce to pantries and local churches. Any proceeds receieved go directly into our charity program, Girls With Drive. Gateways has an on-site garden and greenhouse. Approximately 1/2 a mile from the facility is our orchard which features over 50 fruit trees and berry plants.

Our Mission:

 At Gateways we feel that working outside in the gardens provides a healthy, educational activity that promotes teamwork and a sense of accomplishment as well as benefiting other kids in care by supporting the Girls With Drive Program.
