Tools for an Eden Garden

The seeds of the Eden Alternative are planted in the people's hearts. It is, after all, with our hearts, rather than our eyes, that we see what is essential in this world. Just as an organic gardener understands that the garden will not grow without the gardener, so it is with your Eden garden. You are organizational gardeners. Your gardens will not grow without your hard work. The Eden Home Office and many of our Registered Homes have developed tools to help you grow a beautiful garden. A wise gardener will use these tools to make a bountiful harvest. As you grow your own garden, we encourage you to share the lessons and tools that you have developed with other Eden gardeners.

Listed are tools from the Eden Home Office and Registered Eden Homes

End of Life Pathway
The End of Life Pathway was developed to coincide with the Mission of our facility which is to provide quality care and services from a Christian perspective to the people we serve. We believe that same quality and care needs to be given at the end of life.
