What began as a simple idea — “What if our clients could grow their own food?” — blossomed into a thriving garden and a powerful story of growth at Las Cumbres Adult Services. Through a partnership with local expert Ken Kuhne of Grow Y’Own, clients planted seeds that became much more than vegetables — they became symbols of empowerment, healing, and community.
