Join us as we celebrate our 2nd monthly Health & Wellness Community Day! Neighbors and volunteers of all ages and abilities are welcome. Okra Abbey's entrance gates are on Hickory Street and Eagle Steet and our community refrigerator faces Hickory Street. Okra Abbey is located on New Orleans Public School Property and the school's address is 1800 Monroe St.
We will learn about the connections between the garden beds and the food we eat at the community table with Okra Abbey's Lead Gardener Billie Golan. We will connect with neighbors and grow community while we work on growing fresh and nutritious food.
