History
Small Beginnings
Sprouting Minds is a 501(c)(3) non-for profit organization founded in February, 2019 by program developer Jordan Payne. While working as a behavioral health specialist, Jordan developed a therapeutic horticulture group for clients in a partial hospitalization program. Following multiple successful fundraising campaigns several non-profits reached to developing their own therapeutic horticulture programs, promoting mental health and resilience and Sprouting Minds was born. Sprouting Minds is currently responsible for over five therapeutic gardens in southeastern Ohio and Indiana.
