Our primary source of program revenue is derived through
the successful operation of our wholesale/retail bedding plant nursery,
landscape maintenance service, and Christmas wreath production. Over 94%
of our program's 'total' operating budget is generated through plant sales
or related services. Our nursery annually produces over 2.5 million plants
including over 300 varieties of flowers and vegetables.

Aside from our production work, Greenleaf offers a variety of recreational opportunities for its employees including participation in 4-H horticulture activities, the growing of a community garden to help feed our area's homeless, and an annual four day camping trip, the Greenleaf Retreat. |
Striving to attain self-reliance and dedicated
to improving the quality of life for those with disabilities, Greenleaf
has become an admired model for its achievements in opening up new horizons
for the D.D. population within our community. While we receive little in
the way of ongoing government support (less than 5%), most of our facility
expansion has been the result of acquiring generous financial and material
contributions from private benefactors who agree with our determination
to become self-reliant as a social service agency.
