What We Do
Our mission is to provide a shared garden space where individuals can connect with their community and learn about sustainable living. We utilize organic practices to produce chemical-free produce. Our commitment is to provide resources and a working example on organic gardening and related sustainability practices such as water saving, composting, seed saving and plant propagation.
In addition to the physical space, our garden offers a number of practices including working bees, workshops and events. To learn more click here.
