Help us plant a garden of native plants historically used for healing, many rooted in Cherokee and other Indigenous traditions. We've cleared and expanded the space - now we need volunteers to help get new plants in the ground.
No experience needed. Just bring curiosity and a willingness to get a little dirty. You'll work alongside our horticulture team and learn the story behind what you're planting.
