9:30 AM–12 Noon – Volunteer & Gardening Projects
Every month, neighbors, families, and friends gather at Okra Abbey to share food, grow community, and care for the garden together. For December, we’re seeking collaborations across garden, civic, arts, wellness, and community organizing groups to bring their gifts and energy into our space.
With our Lead Gardener, we’ll learn how the garden connects to the food we enjoy at the community table, while working side by side to strengthen community ties and nurture the land.
