Eldergrow
Bring the benefits of therapeutic gardening to your residents — indoors, year-round
The therapeutic horticulture solution that brings nature into everyday care
Eldergrow offers two ways to bring the benefits of nature-based programming to your community: a hands-on indoor garden and a digital activity curriculum. Use one or combine both depending on your space, team, and residents' needs.
Indoor Compact Garden
A hands-on growing experience designed for care communities
The Indoor Compact Garden is a mobile, space-saving solution that lets residents grow vegetables, herbs, and flowers indoors, year-round. With a 25-plant capacity per cycle and a low-maintenance design, it's accessible to all residents regardless of ability. Included programming ensures your team always has a structured activity ready to go.
Nature Connect
A research-backed curriculum for nature-based programming
Nature Connect is a fully digital activity program accessible through a web portal. It provides daily thematic activities and 2–3 in-depth lessons per month, all tailored to different cognitive levels. No garden required, just meaningful, structured programming that your life enrichment team can use right away.
Seasonal Supply Boxes
Everything your team needs, delivered to your door
Every Indoor Compact Garden comes with a Welcome Box including your first plant pods, starter tools, and care instructions. It is then followed by seasonal supply boxes delivered every 2 to 3 months, each containing a new selection of plant pods, care tips, printed materials, and programming surprises to keep the experience fresh for residents all year long.
