In 2020, a small group of concerned Morgan County citizens formed to identify ways they could improve sustainability and social justice within the local community. Our efforts evolved into a community garden to improve availability of local food sources while offering activities that bring together people of diverse backgrounds, ages, races, and faiths.

We are deeply committed to enhancing community resilience and providing educational opportunities for young and old inspired by a vision of sustainability that honors and protects our earth.
