Join us for a day of collective stewardship as we honor the legacy of farmworker labor leaders like Larry Itliong. This family-friendly gathering is more than a volunteer even, it is an invitation to practice Embodied Action and Play, where we learn to help the garden grow through joy, culture, and shared art.
The Experience
We are transforming the West quadrant of the garden into a "Living Labyrinth." This is a "No Pressure Participation" environment, volunteers of all ages and abilities are encouraged to move at their own pace, connect with the soil, and enjoy the regenerative energy of the space.
Regenerative Action: Help us plant native species like Toyon and Bee plants to support local pollinators.
Arts & Culture: Engage in nature-based crafts, paint garden signs, and contribute to the "Living Labyrinth" pathway.
Food as Medicine: Enjoy a healthy community salad donated by Olympia Market and fresh snap peas, cilantro, and daikon radish harvested directly from the garden.
Legacy & Learning: Connect with local organizers and learn about the intersection of labor history and environmental justice.
