Every spring we plant thousands of tomato seeds in our greenhouse to give away to staff, patients and their families at Nemours Children’s Hospital.
This year our friends at contributed their own tomato seedlings, which provided an abundance of free plants for the first of our Can Grow Garden giveaways!

The Estate and Hospital work together through the Wellbeing programming, the Can Grow Garden, and other initiatives, to provide healthy opportunities for staff, patients and their families.🌱
