Another trending topic: garden design, especially living fences and foraging/gardening workshops. Searches for whimsical, nature‑driven plant life are rising sharply. In Fruita and Grand Junction, residents are embracing garden projects that teach sustainability and wellness—and these habits align well with lifting up scholarship students.
At the Cory Thompson Scholarship Fund, we support not just academic performance but whole‑life wellness. Students who garden, engage outside, learn eco‑literacy often carry stronger mental health, discipline, and community connection into their studies.
Wellness through nature helps like this:
- Time outdoors lowers stress and boosts clarity
- Gardening teaches patience, effort, and pride in growth
- Eco‑workshops augment learning beyond books
