Come PLAY in the Peace Garden!
Do you love being in the Peace Garden and getting your hands in the soil?
Are you curious or passionate about growing vegetables and flowers and just really want a little patch of soil to tend?
Are you craving to be a more integrated member of the True Nature Community?
ADOPT A GARDEN BED!
We have three incredible raised beds in the Peace Garden that are designed for annual plantings, and we are so excited to open these up to the community! This is an incredible opportunity to build community relationships, strengthen connections with plants and all the life, tap into a deep sense of inspiration and wonder, and hopefully discover something about yourself in the process.
The soil in these convenient raised beds has been lovingly tended using only organic and biodynamic methods since installation about 4 years ago. We have amended with compost several times over, and the bottom most layers are modeled after a permaculture principle called "huglekulture" to increase soil microbe and micrrohizal growth. These beds are on an irrigation system, and you will have access to additional hand watering if needed.
We are looking for 3 passionate, dedicated individuals, groups or organizations to participate in this community gardening opportunity.
Guidelines:
No poisonous or toxic plants
Only organic gardening methods may be used (no chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides)
Annual plantings (flowers and veggies) preferred, as these beds will possibly transition hands each season
If plants are purchased, they must be free of neonicotinoids and preferably sourced from an organic local grower
If trellising is required, please consider crafting from natural materials. These must be no higher than 4' from soil surface, and must not interfere with our installation of the tent*
If selected to participate, you will be granted use of one of the three raised garden beds in the Peace Garden, located on the NE corner of the garden for the growing season of 2025. You may apply again to participate the following year, and selection will be prioritized to successful growers.
*The garden tent will be installed on multiple different occasions throughout the growing season. Please ensure that your plants do not interfere with this, or be ok if we cut them!
