Founded in 1996 by Minnie Pennell and run by volunteers, the garden demonstrates chemical-free, organic methods for growing a broad range of plants – from vegetables, to Prairie grasses, to hardy native species. It's a place to learn, share ideas and rekindle a sense of wonder at nature's complexity and beauty.

We create a Culture of Sustainability by seeing the impact of all decisions and actions after assessing, not a single, but a triple bottom-line: planet, people, and profit, to paraphrase John Elkington. In other words, we must consider environmental stewardship, social responsibility and economic resilience. This perspective is what allows us to see with a lens of sustainability. Finding the right balance protects the future. Our 6 Advisory groups were created to focus on various areas of concern. They research and develop policy, organize activities, advocate around issues, and co-ordinate public events. For a list of 2022/2023 activities please visit our website.
