Frequently Asked Questions:

                            

Is this organic?

We use a combination of organic-based practices and OMRI-compliant inputs when appropriate.

Our focus is plant health, food safety, and consistent performance in a clinical setting — not retail organic labeling.

All edible plants are grown using safe, professional horticultural practices.

Will this increase our staff workload?

No.

MEG gardens are designed to function as “outdoor therapeutic programming without increasing staff workload.”

We install, maintain, rotate crops, and manage seasonal transitions.

Staff simply incorporate the garden into existing therapy sessions — no extra gardening expertise required.

Do our therapists need gardening experience?

Not at all.

The system is intentionally simplified.
No tilling. No raised-bed construction. No plant troubleshooting.

We provide structured planting layouts and seasonal refreshes so your team can focus on therapy — not horticulture logistics.

What happens during the winter?

We provide seasonal transitions, crop rotation, and winterization support.

Clinics can choose to:

Close the garden for winter
Extend the season with frost protection
Use indoor grow systems (if desired)

We plan ahead so the garden remains predictable year to year.

Is this safe for clients?

Yes.

The grow systems are self-contained, elevated, and designed to reduce:

Soil contamination risk
Trip hazards
Weeds
Sharp edges

Food grown can be eaten on-site as part of therapy activities.

What makes MEG different from a traditional garden?

Traditional gardens require:

Soil preparation
Weed control
Irrigation management
Ongoing troubleshooting

MEG gardens are modular, self-contained systems designed specifically for busy organizations.

They’re built to reduce friction — not create it.

Is there a long-term contract?

We begin with a pilot season.

If the garden proves valuable for your clinic (it usually does), we transition into a renewal structure with priority scheduling and seasonal support.

So what’s the catch?

There isn’t one.

You get a professionally managed therapeutic garden space — without adding new responsibilities to your team.
