FLOYD COUNTY, Ky. (WMDJ) – This year is Auxier Greenhouse’s 50th anniversary and this Saturday, Mountain Comprehensive Care Center will kick off a year of celebration with an Open House event from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m.
Mountain Comprehensive Care Center’s greenhouse program provides Day Training services for individuals with intellectual or development disabilities.
Officials have used the phrase, “Where plants help people grow” at the greenhouse. Clients learn to plant, grow and care for the plants, along with many valuable life skills. It allows them to be productive in general and for themselves in a safe, but real-world atmosphere.
MCCC's Day Training Program provides supportive instruction to developmentally and intellectually disabled adults in a positive environment at each of its greenhouse facilities. Day Training focuses on the development and enhancement of vocational and other life skills, providing the opportunity for individuals to improve their independence through vocational tasks; social interaction and interpersonal relationships; effective communication; enhancement of self-care and daily living skills; money management and community participation.
The greenhouse is located at 40 Greenhouse Lane in Prestonsburg at the intersection of Ky. Route 321 and Ky. Route 3.
