Save to Favorites

Hope Grows is a Pittsburgh based nonprofit that provides an environment that empowers caregivers to seek wellness of mind, body, and spirit through counseling, education, supportive services, and therapeutic respite opportunities. We work with our corporate healthcare partners in the area to provide quality support through unique coping and self-care programs. Our approach incorporates nature and gardening in our therapeutic model of mental health therapy and support groups, as well as, therapeutic respite and short break programming. Our work includes grant-funded projects and a wellness retreat style bed and breakfast, coming soon.

Garden Keepers are volunteers that show an interest and enthusiasm for gardening, enjoy being outdoors and getting hands dirty, and have the ability or willingness to learn plants from weeds. Support is needed to help with the beautification and upkeep of the healing and restorative gardens at the Hope Respite House. The ability to independently work, on a regular basis, under the direction of the horticulturalist is a bonus. Some tasks include watering the grounds, removal of weeds, digging in the garden beds, and harvest and removal of plant material. Minimum 16 years of age. Background check.
