About We Grow Dreams, Inc.
A dream in the minds of a small group of parents and the determination to make the dream a reality is behind the We Grow Dreams Greenhouse & Garden Center in West Chicago, IL. We Grow Dreams, Inc., founded in December 2004, is a not-for-profit 501 (c)(3) corporation.
This dream is being realized by providing job training and employment opportunities for people with disabilities. The founders recognized the lack of employment opportunities for people with disabilities and came together to creatively address this need. A greenhouse was identified as a labor-intensive business, something necessary for a dynamic job vocational training ground. Individuals with disabilities were envisioned working with volunteers and greenhouse employees, learning the business and developing a variety of work skills. This vision became the support model for the venture.
The individuals with disabilities that receive vocational training are referred to as Team Members at the greenhouse. Since its inception, over 120 Team Members and their families have participated in the program, along with many, many volunteers all from Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Kane and Will counties. The program has been extremely well received in the community and has an active volunteer group of Master Gardeners who help with the training and education of team members on a weekly basis.
We Grow Dreams Greenhouse & Garden Center is a year-round business supplying a wide variety of premium quality plants and gardening accessories.
Our Mission
To provide people with disabilities the opportunity to lead fulfilling lives and to train and work in a supportive, safe and caring environment while producing and providing products and services to the community.
