:Nourishing Community Herb Gardens Project

​When we consider global crises it is easy to feel overwhelmed and become disempowered. Creating community gardens that bring back medicinal herbs alongside wild foods of the local habitat is a tangible way to be a part of the solution.  As we grow gardens we grow community. 

Our Nourishing Community Herb Gardens Project highlights unique community gardens that include medicinal herbs as a sustainable and educational resource, helping individuals and communities thrive. We support growing herbs as well as food as we know health is a social and racial justice issue, and healthy foods and herbs are a part of reaching underserved communities without access to fresh food. 

We feature:
  • Favorite community garden herbs
  • Tips shared by ​community​ herb​ gardens​ growers​

Disaster Relief

HWB also has chapters who respond with disaster relief after natural disasters such as forest fires, hurricanes, flooding, and earthquakes. 

We are currently working to get seeds to Puerto Rico. They have been devastated by Maria, and without any real support or aid, they need to grow their own food, start gardens in every community, and get basic food needs met first, and then expand to re-grow all of the crops that they have lost. We ship donated seeds for zones 9-12 that are going to towns in the mountains and along the western coast.
