Volunteers maintain our garden, which is financially self-supporting. Besides vegetable beds, we have a bird and butterfly section, an herb garden, a monarch habitat, an apiary, and a section for children to learn about gardening.

This year we'll be growing over 20 varieties of herbs -- culinary, medicinal and ornamental.

In our 26 raised beds we experiment with varieties of vegetables, and connect with the surrounding community through food distribution and workshops teaching gardening and food preparation. We donate at least 10% of the harvest yearly to the under-served and vulnerable.
