It's Empowered Spaces Community Garden's 6th growing season, and we invite you to join our garden family!This is a community garden committed to cultivating relationship with each other & the land, mutual aid & support, justice, and collective healing.
Through our Collaborative Food Share Program we are growing food to share with those in need because we believe that food is medicine, land stewardship is healing, and that everyone - regardless of income -deserves access to nutritious high-quality food. We are here to take care of each other.
*****
Imagine a space where fresh food is grown by the community, for the community. Where your hands in the soil heal both the land and yourself. A garden where people come together to learn, heal, and build a more just and sustainable future. That’s what we’re growing at Empowered Spaces Community Garden— and we invite YOU to be part of it!
Located at the heart of our holistic healing center, our community-led garden is rooted in permaculture principles, perennial agriculture, and community care.
Our garden is currently made up of 35 fruit and nut trees, 6 raised garden beds, a pollination garden, a medicinal herb bed, and a tea garden.
More Than Just a Garden—We Are a Movement
At the Empowered Spaces Community Garden, we aren’t just tending the soil—we’re tending to community, justice, and collective healing.
We grow food and share it.
The vast majority of our harvest is shared with individuals and families in need because we believe fresh, organic food should be a right, not a privilege.
We teach and empower.
Our garden is a living classroom, helping people develop skills in sustainable gardening, permaculture practices, and ecological healing.
We’re reclaiming relationships—with land and each other.
Our co-op fosters community care, mutual support, and interdependence - offering a space where everyone feels seen, valued, and connected.
We honor the land.
We use regenerative, environmentally conscious practices to care for the earth while it cares for us.
We’re integrating healing into our work.
Gardening is not just about growing food—it’s about growing resilience. As part of a holistic healing center, we recognize that working with the land is also a form of trauma healing, self-reclamation, and collective care.
