our mission is to reconnect seniors to their gardening roots, one garden at a time.
a little about us...Founded in 2010 by master gardener, Jonquil Nelson, Sage Gardeners set out with a plan: reconnect seniors to their gardening roots. Jonquil (johni), Sage Gardeners' founder and executive director, does exactly that in many towns across Montana. With the help from numerous volunteers, master gardener students, and Montana State University students, Sage Gardeners has built gardens in several retirement, assisted living, skilled nursing, cancer and veteran support communities, and affordable housing complexes, as well as provided raised gardens beds to over 75 seniors in private residences. Many more eager seniors are awaiting beds for 2018!

our services...Our vision is to make vegetable gardening accessible to all seniors. We want to provide accessible, raised, organic vegetable gardens and horticultural therapy to senior communities such as assisted living facilities, retirement communities, affordable senior housing, community open spaces, veteran homes, specialized care communities, and private residences. In addition to building new gardens each year, our ever-growing maintenance program provides services to each and every garden from the past year's recipients. We tailor our gardens and services to each individual and retirement community's needs and abilities.
