“I went to Mustard Seed Community Farm for a flower arranging class, which included a potluck. It was one of the best experiences I have had - the folks involved with the farm are generous, inclusive, gracious - I felt like I had known them for years. I had an opportunity to chat with Alice, the owner, and Jen, a volunteer that manages the flowers on the farm. They are community-minded, big-hearted and benevolent. I can't recommend this farm, and activities associated with the farm, more highly!”
“I'm sad that I can't do the Tues and Fri morning workshares, but this is a great opportunity and people who have free time on the mornings should go and be involved with the volunteering/workshares opportunity!”
“wonderful community garden......beautiful people who give so much to others........good resource......growing every year. A plus . Go there! Volunteer. You will LOVE it”
“Therapeutic, spiritual, powerful, inclusive, just, peaceful, sustainable, harmony, and healthy.”
“Experiencing social equality through horticulture”
