Mary's Farm & Sanctuary is home to the non-profit society Blossoming At The Farm. Their mission is to provide accessible, inclusive, and sustainable programming where all children and youth have access to nature-based learning environments, including the following:
- A Learning Community that brings together children and a dedicated, uniquely skilled team of leaders. A 10 month full or part time program that provides registered home learners a gently structured environment that is rich, diverse, flexible, respectful, supportive, joyful, relevant, relational, meaningful and deeply rooted in the natural world.
- A Forest School in which the participants spend each day immersed in the outside world, rain or shine, which provides a never ending source of experiences, connection, and learning as the seasons change.
- Therapeutic sessions for those facing a variety of mental health challenges.
- One on one behaviour intervention that targets complex social, emotional and behavioral opportunities.
- Play and nature-based social and behavioral interventions to support a child's self-regulation and connection with themselves and others.
- Social learning play groups that include sensory diet play and collaborative art and game offerings.
