This location is closed until further notice due to effects of Hurricane Helene and other storms in late September. Previously scheduled activities, events, programs, and rentals are cancelled during this time.
With over 40 varieties of fruit and nut trees, a butterfly habitat, and a community garden, many volunteers have helped maintain the nation’s first public food forest since it was developed in 1997.
