Flourishing in the Garden (FIG) is an integrative, 7-week garden-based program designed to support holistic well-being through a mind ~ body ~ land approach.

​

FIG brings together gardening and nutrition education, permaculture principles, yoga philosophy and practices, mindfulness, breathwork, movement, and emotional awareness. Informed by the Flourishing Index, the program creates opportunities for participants to connect with themselves, one another, and the natural world while developing practical tools that support well-being.

FIG Training

Our self-paced FIG training prepares educators to deliver the program within their own communities. FIG was intentionally designed to be adaptable, allowing facilitators to respond to the unique needs, resources, populations, and growing spaces within their communities.

​

FIG was developed through collaboration with Virginia Cooperative Extension agents and aligns naturally with Extension programming and cross-program collaboration. However, the training is also appropriate for community health educators and other professionals interested in using gardening, movement, mindfulness, and education to support whole-person health.
