OUR HORTICULTURE PROGRAM
The HORTICULTURE program is one we take great pride in here at the Center of Family Love. Each year, thousands of poinsettias are sold through our greenhouse for Christmas decorating throughout the State of Oklahoma. Flower and plant enthusiasts by the hundreds are drawn to the Kristy Wittrock Memorial Horticulture Center from surrounding counties of Okarche to witness the "green-thumb" talents of our DD adults.
Our expansive greenhouse is specially designed for wheelchair access allowing the cultivation of vocational skills through this unique, hands-on training tool. Horticultural therapy uses plants and plant-related activities as treatment for persons with developmental or physical disabilities and also serves for rehabilitation training for individuals with developmental disabilities to qualify them for transitional employment in the surrounding communities.
CFL residents working at the greenhouse attain a new skill, improve their vocabulary, increase powers of observation and concentration and learn to interact in a professional manner within and outside of a group setting. Horticultural Therapy improves confidence, self-esteem and gives CFL residents another venue for creative independence.
The greenhouse is open to the public and you are invited to visit us during our business hours.
