Sargent Road Farmhouse Non-Profit
Tower Garden Curriculum
Hydroponics Education Program at Forest Glen Elementary
We are implementing a hands-on hydroponics education curriculum that introduces students to growing food without soil using water, nutrients, and light. Through age-appropriate lessons, students learn how plants grow, what they need to thrive, and how food systems connect to science, health, and the environment.
The curriculum integrates STEM learning with real-world application, allowing students to observe plant growth, track progress, and participate in caring for living systems directly in their school environment.
Why We Are Doing This
This program helps students build curiosity, responsibility, and foundational science skills while fostering an early connection to food sustainability and environmental stewardship. By bringing hydroponics into the classroom, we give students practical exposure to innovative growing methods and empower them to see themselves as capable learners and caretakers of the world around them.

Community Garden
Community Education Herbal Garden
Our Community Education Herbal Garden is a living classroom designed to teach practical plant knowledge, sustainability, and food awareness. The garden features 10 hydroponic towers dedicated to growing a variety of culinary herbs, medicinal herbs, and flowering plants, alongside a blueberry and strawberry patch that demonstrates seasonal and perennial growing methods.
Visitors and participants learn about plant life cycles, water-efficient growing systems, pollinator support, and responsible harvesting. The garden serves as an accessible, hands-on learning space where people of all ages can engage directly with how food and herbs are grown.
Why We Offer This Garden
We created this garden to support community education, environmental stewardship, and self-reliance. By combining hydroponics with traditional garden beds, the space demonstrates multiple growing methods and empowers individuals with knowledge they can apply at home while fostering a deeper connection to the land and local ecosystems.

Yoga Workshops
Our yoga workshop is designed to support restoration, reconnection, and nervous system balance. This is not performance-based yoga—it is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and gently return to your body with compassion and awareness.
Each session blends gentle, accessible movement with intentional breathwork to release tension, increase circulation, and create a sense of calm and grounding. The focus is on listening to your body rather than pushing it, honoring where you are in the moment.
This workshop supports:
Relaxation of the nervous system
Increased flexibility and mobility
Improved breath awareness
Emotional release and grounding
A deeper sense of presence and ease
Movements are slow, intuitive, and adaptable for all levels. Modifications and rest are always encouraged, making this workshop welcoming whether you are new to yoga or returning after time away.
The yoga workshop pairs seamlessly with our somatic work and sound bowl sessions, helping integrate the retreat experience into the body. Many guests describe leaving feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected—both physically and emotionally.
Come as you are. No experience required. Just a willingness to breathe, move gently, and receive.

Commuinty Pitch in
We are honored to support Prestley Produce as they break ground on their nonprofit community garden—an initiative rooted in access, education, and collective care.
Helping Prestley Produce launch their garden has been a true example of community teamwork in action. This project brought together neighbors, volunteers, educators, and growers, each contributing their time, skills, and energy to create something meaningful and lasting. From planning and preparation to hands-on work in the soil, this effort reflects what’s possible when people come together around a shared purpose.
Breaking ground was more than a physical milestone—it was the beginning of a space designed to nourish both people and connection. The garden will serve as a place for learning, collaboration, and fresh food access, strengthening the community from the ground up.
We believe gardens grow more than food—they grow confidence, cooperation, and resilience. Supporting Prestley Produce aligns deeply with our mission to foster education, sustainability, and community empowerment through hands-on experiences.
This partnership is a reminder that lasting change doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens when communities show up, work side by side, and invest in one another.
