Hello! We’ve been quiet. It’s been a challenging year. Everything since Helene has been a little extra. We apologize for not hosting more of you, having workshops and plant walks and updating you on the happenings

We are trying hard, yet fumbling, through this transition from Joe’s leadership towards becoming a functional non-profit organization.

Our goals remain the same, to fulfill Joe’s vision of creating an education center and botanical garden.

We are slowly but surely finishing the library rebuild.
We are digging out from Helene’s landslide.
We are growing our non-profit board to support the mission.
We are building the team to care for, organize and run the project into the future.

We ask for your grace and patience.

Stay tuned!
In the spring we will be asking for support for volunteer work days. We will be hosting interns. We will be providing garden walks and workshops.

We are grateful to all of you that continue to stop by to stroll the gardens, donate to the cause and let us know you care!

Best wishes to you all in these challenging times!
