THE BELIEVE GARDEN
Growing a Community of Empowerment, Mindfulness, and Wellness
The BeLieve Garden is more than just a garden—it’s a living classroom, a space for growth, healing, and empowerment for our young participants. Located at the heart of One Talent, Inc., the garden serves as a hands-on learning environment where our youth can connect with nature, cultivate valuable skills, and nurture their physical and mental well-being.

​​Our mission is to provide a space where youth and young adults can engage in mindful gardening practices, build community connections, and learn about sustainable living. Through the garden, we aim to empower our participants by offering tools to grow healthy food, promote well-being, and develop leadership skills.
