 The Flower Barn is a local green
house and nursery growing annuals
and perennials for sale within the
community. Individuals working in
the greenhouses help to produce
the items sold while gaining self
esteem and important job skills. A
separate and distinct work-related
opportunity not funded by Medicaid
is available to the Day Habilitation
participants through IGHL
Greenhouse Enterprises.
 Participants are granted 30%
release time from the Day Hab
Program to work for pay.
Individuals are gainfully employed
at the greenhouses and their
salaries are provided entirely
through the sale of products they
grow.
 This unique work program satisfies
the need to contribute to the
community while claiming a
productive place in it. Planting,
fertilizing, nourishing plants and
flowers and maintaining the
greenhouses are some ways in
which participants achieve this end.
 Thanks to flexible scheduling and
creative planning by Habilitation Specialists,
the participants enjoy maximum time in the community
while producing something of
positive and lasting value.
