Join us for our November Health & Wellness Community Day!
Saturday, November 15
9:00 AM – Coffee & Pancake Breakfast
9:30 AM – Garden Club with Okra Abbey Lead Gardener Billie Golan
9:30 AM–12 Noon – Volunteer & Gardening Projects
Each month, neighbors, families, and volunteers gather at Okra Abbey to share food, learn together, and grow community through the garden. This November we’re especially seeking new partnerships that weave together civic, arts, wellness, garden, and community organizing efforts. If your group would like to collaborate, please reach out!
We’ll explore how our garden beds connect to the food we eat at the community table with our Lead Gardener, while working side by side to strengthen bonds and grow fresh, nutritious food.
📍 Location:
Okra Abbey – 1800 Monroe St, New Orleans Public School Property
Entrance gates: Hickory Street & Eagle Street
💌 Interested in partnering or contributing?
Contact [email protected] if your organization would like to collaborate, or if you can donate coffee supplies, snacks, seeds, or plant starts.
We welcome groups, families, and individuals of all backgrounds to come work alongside neighbors in our community giving garden.
🌱 Weekly Hours:
• Mon–Thurs, 8:30 AM–12:30 PM
• Coffee on Mon/Tues/Thurs at 8:30 AM
• Grace & Greens community meal every Wednesday at Noon
100% of what we grow is shared through our Wednesday lunch and directly with our neighbors.
