Description

Activities proposed for 2015 include incorporating a youth garden club, sustainability teaching through a native plant demo rain garden, and initiating gardening and agricultural conversations through events and listening sessions. The new space will be home to a native herbal medicine plot, rain garden, three sisters' plot, fruit trees and berries section, micro-farm (for Food & Ag leaders), community member plots and a learning center/community event space. Through these activities we hope to create a space for community gatherings and ceremonies which serves as a learning environment for traditional foods, herbs and medicines and urban agriculture.
