We help individuals with autism and other disabilities grow their careers and cultivate their tomorrows!
Based in Guilford, Connecticut, we are a nonprofit garden store that grows and sells fragrant fresh cut roses, and other unique gifts while also providing career training and mentorship to young adults with autism and other disabilities.
Winner of CT Magazine's Best of in 2016 and 2017!
Our roses are renowned for being fresh cut, fragrant, and for unfolding in exquisite blooms to the delight of many new and returning customers. We sell our flowers at our Guilford based farm store, online, and in numerous farmers markets throughout Connecticut. We also ship nationwide.
Proceeds from flower and gift sales support our career training programs and community sensory garden!
In conjunction with our parent company, Ability Beyond, we have helped over one hundred individuals gain positive work experience in all areas of our business, from the greenhouse to e-commerce. In addition, we teach practical employability skills to ensure success in the workplace. Our interns have obtained jobs in industries such as retail, agriculture, technology, restaurant, hospitality, as well as the arts. Some have also enrolled in college courses and even started their own businesses!
The successes of our interns inspire us every day to continue our mission! We truly are roses...and so much more!
We invite you to learn more about Our Impact and ways to Get Involved!
* At times of peak demand, we source fresh flowers from trusted business partners so that we may fulfill our mission.
