Connect with Nature. Connect with Yourself. Connect with Community.
Our Vision
Built upon the legacy of the Women Warriors Healing Garden in Ottawa, Ontario, and made possible with their generous support, There She Grows offers a sanctuary of land-based wellness, food security and self-exploration for women who are veterans, veteran spouses and first responders.
With the support of agencies such as OSISS, the Veteran Family Program and other community partners, There She Grows exists to offer a safe third space for its clients to rest, reconnect and grow alongisde others who understand their journey.
Our vision is to cultivate an enduring legacy of peace and sustainability, where nature serves as the primary healer and every woman who has served our community finds her place for growth and belonging in the garden.

Food Security
Nourishing the community from within. Our program goes beyond wellness to address essential physical needs. By cultivating nutritious produce in our healing garden, we ensure that women veterans and their families have reliable access to fresh, healthy harvests—building resilience and strength from the ground up.
Land-Based Wellness
Healing rooted in the earth. We integrate nature-based therapies that foster a deep connection to the land, providing a grounding sanctuary for women to rediscover their inner peace through the rhythmical growth of the seasons. Our approach prioritizes mental stillness and spiritual restoration through tactile experiences with soil and flora.
