Garden to Table

At Runk & Pratt we make sure we are on the cutting edge of innovative advancements in healthy and active living practices for seniors. Hydroponic tower gardens are a fresh take on farming that allows seniors to engage in actively planting, tending, and harvesting a garden indoors without the strain of traditional gardening. These quick-growing gardens provide produce that is more nutritious for the body and more efficient to grow than average over the counter fruits and vegetables. Our “Garden to Table” program brings healthy and active living together.
