: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​
  • Sage ​start-up ​advice​ by​ organizers  
  • Seasonal recipes and botanical blends
  • Technical assistance for starting a community garden
  • Support in how to start a garden, what plants to grow and more!
