We Need More Space

We have run out of space. Help support us in our initiative to expand the Greenhouse project. We are in the process of acquiring a 13-acre land in Grove City, Ohio to establish greenhouses and offer agricultural education tailored for individuals and families affected by Autism. Our aim is to create a nurturing environment where they can learn about cultivating flowers and vegetables throughout the year. The proceeds from sales will aid our foundation's cause while any surplus produce will be donated to local food banks. Join us in helping feed our community while bringing more Autism Awareness.

Land Project Proposal Made

Our aim is to establish a lasting space for the Foundation on a sprawling 10+ arce site in southern Franklin County. As we progress towards securing a permanent base, we envision a place dedicated to growth, education, community involvement, and support for our ASD citizens. The success achieved over the years through temporary greenhouses and open spaces underscores our unwavering commitment to this venture. Help us acquire land with your monthly donation so we can build the future of autism awareness together.

The Project Greenhouse Dream

Welcome to an exciting initiative that aims to create a nurturing environment for individuals on the autism spectrum—Project Greenhouse for Autism. This project is not just about building a greenhouse; it's about cultivating a space where education, advocacy, and community resources can flourish.

Imagine a place where individuals can learn about horticulture, engage with nature, and develop essential life skills. A greenhouse can serve as a therapeutic environment, offering sensory experiences that are beneficial for those on the autism spectrum. The act of planting seeds, nurturing plants, and watching them grow can be incredibly rewarding and empowering.

Acquiring land for this greenhouse is a crucial step in making this vision a reality. This space will not only provide hands-on learning opportunities but also foster a sense of community and belonging. It will be a place where individuals can connect with others, share experiences, and build friendships, all while engaging in meaningful activities.

Moreover, the greenhouse will serve as a platform for raising awareness about autism. By hosting workshops, events, and educational programs, we can help dispel myths and promote understanding within the broader community. The more we share knowledge and experiences, the more we can foster acceptance and inclusion for individuals on the autism spectrum.

We believe that everyone deserves the chance to thrive, and Project Greenhouse for Autism is dedicated to making that happen. By supporting this initiative, you are not only contributing to the creation of a beautiful and functional space but also playing a vital role in empowering individuals and amplifying their voices.

As we embark on this journey, we invite you to join us in our mission. Whether through donations, volunteering, or simply spreading the word, your support can make a significant difference. Together, we can cultivate a brighter future for individuals on the autism spectrum and their families.

Thank you for considering being a part of Project Greenhouse for Autism. Your involvement can help us turn this dream into a reality, creating a space where growth, understanding, and acceptance can thrive.

 

How can you Support Project Greenhouse?

How do we ensure the future of people with intellectual and developmental disorders
that will outlive their parents? How do we train a future workforce ready to work the first
day on a new job site? With advances in healthcare, how will people with intellectual
and developmental disorders support themselves as independent and responsible
members of our community?

Most young adults with intellectual and developmental disorders (IDD) leave high school
without job training. Ohio researchers believe the rates of the highest functioning people
with IDD diagnoses are greatest in males at rates 4:1 or 5:1 to females. Autism, and
most other spectrum disorders, include a variety of behavioral and communication
difficulties. Most people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) remain in their
community and family home. According to the Columbus Dispatch in 2021, 80 to 90% of
people with ASD were unemployed.

We have a Solution
Job training, after high school, usually happens at a trade school, community college,
and universities of higher learning. Job training for people with ASD is hard to find
except for charities and re-sell centers that tend to be noisy, chaotic, and teach
rudimentary skills. People with ASD need job training and employment with low social
stimulation, hands-on training, and close supervision to acquire needed job skills under
the direction of experienced supervisors.
