The 1/2 acre Westgarden has been cultivated by staff, volunteers and interns since 1979. The garden includes chickens, bees, and vermiculture. We grow food for program participants, staff, and the Good Cheer Food Bank.

P1220433fP1220434fIt is a living classroom where Community Garden Leadership Apprentices, Waldorf students, and volunteers of all ages can work and learn.

All are welcome to our Thursday work parties that are held from March through October.
