ONGOING PROGRAMS

Whether you want to learn about native plants, work on the land, create art, attend a workshop, host a group, use the office space to work, or you just want to hang out with us—there is a space here for you.

We envision our space as a gathering place, a community hub, and a safe haven for our Indigenous community, BIPOC, Two Spirit and/or LGBTQIA+ individuals, and migrant neighbors. Together, we can create community, make friends, and connect through land and art.
