Washington County, Our Community
Gardenworks is a family farm, a greenhouse, a hub for lifestyle medicine, a berry patch, a marketplace of handcrafts and local foods in season.
Our educational classes express our enthusiasm for horticulture. And, now, with the 4 th generation on the farm, the programming will increase the awareness of lifestyle medicine and the importance of nutrition, exercise and social engagement.
We’ll continue to celebrate the talents of local artists and artisans in our gallery as well as the hard work of neighbor farmers. Our farm setting provides a relaxed environment, fresh air and a direct connection between the land and people. The pleasure of picking blueberries at their peak and tasting organic spinach only hours after harvest teaches the true flavor of good food.
Food for Life Classes and community potlucks will highlight the healthy power of food from the ground up- a top pillar of Lifestyle Medicine. Fitness classes in the fields will combine 4 of the 6 pillars of Lifestyle Medicine: physical fitness, social and emotional connection, stress reduction and sleep quality, date nights in the fields will also offer opportunities to enjoy the pillars of social and emotional connection, healthy food, as well as stress reduction as we welcome you to enjoy a deep breath of fresh air and behold beauty with others. Finally we welcome you to stay with us on the farm, in-season at the farm’s rustic Respite Cabin, or during the winter for a romantic and cozy getaway in the new En Suite @Gardenworks.
