Georgia was a most engaging presenter for the Kevin Heinze therapeutic horticulture program GROW (Growing for Recreational and Occupational Wellbeing).

Over forty-three years GROW has been providing a valuable gardening experience at its two centres in Doncaster and Coburg for young people with a disability. The program is based on the positive benefits of active engagement with gardening inspired by the late Kevin Heinze – physical, social, cognitive and psychological. It is staffed by volunteers who are assisted by a range of professionals working to ensure beneficial outcomes. Most of the plants on sale in the nurseries are produced by participants in the horticultural program.
