Planting the Seeds of Opportunity

WELCOME Donors

Welcome

Tavon Center is a unique program that connects people with disabilities to the community and nature through horticultural therapy.

The Tavon Center program is built with three core elements in mind:
Work: Building vocational skills
Nature: Connecting to plants, earth, and animals
Community: Inclusion and contribution to our friends and neighbors

Our program pairs horticultural therapy with community involvement to awaken the senses to the natural world and confirm our clients’ sense of purpose and belonging.

For young adults with disabilities who are making the transition from school to work, Tavon Center will provide transferrable skills with the ultimate goal of readying those who are able for jobs in the community. Clients of Tavon will run the day-to-day operations of accessible vegetable and herb gardens located in Issaquah, Washington, and have a goal of selling the produce at local farmers’ markets.
