The Framework Behind Our Garden-Based Programs

At Kevin Heinze Grow, we create opportunities for meaningful inclusion and positive personal development through therapeutic horticulture. We do this through The GROW Model — a unique, evidence-based therapeutic framework developed from decades of hands-on experience and a strong body of research. Rooted in Kevin Heinze's original philosophy and refined by our team of Therapeutic Horticulture Practitioners, the GROW Model outlines key elements that inform our day-to-day practice across all programs. These elements help us deliver personalised experiences that improve physical and emotional wellbeing, foster social connection, and instill a sense of confidence, purpose and belonging. It's how we turn time in the garden into lasting growth — for every participant, every day.
