Dignity
Every participant is met as a whole person with strengths, agency, and room to grow.
About the foundation
Bloom and Breathe Foundation is being developed as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization in Meridian, Idaho to support youth and young adults through horticultural therapy, mentorship, regenerative agriculture, and community food production.
Our mission is to create a regenerative farm where youth and young adults facing mental health challenges find peace and healing through horticultural therapy, gain work and life skills through mentorship, and build confidence and self-esteem while working in nature to provide food for the community.
We envision a community where young people have access to caring mentors, restorative outdoor spaces, practical work opportunities, and the dignity of contributing to something that nourishes others.

Programs are designed to serve the public good without private benefit or exaggerated claims.
Every participant is met as a whole person with strengths, agency, and room to grow.
