Our vision...
... is to live in a world where Aboriginal knowledge and culture is valued.
Our mission...
... is to cultivate Aboriginal green spaces by providing meaningful and healthy work for people facing barriers to life and employment.
Founded in 2021 by Roman Deguchi and Matt Coe, we are driven to end the cycles of disadvantage people face — especially in the Indigenous community. We have a strong desire to bring people together to create a sense of place and belonging, all the while integrating Indigenous culture.
Together, Roman and Matt through lived experience have founded Wildflower Garden for Good to change the game and provide opportunities for disadvantaged young people, especially in the Indigenous community.
