Announcing our Spring 2021 Seeds to Start Grant Recipient!

We are pleased to announce our spring 2021 Seeds to Start Grant recipient, the Resiliency Hub! This local non-profit’s mission is “to steward dynamic public learning hubs to inspire community resilience initiatives in Moab.” They do this through holistic waste management initiatives (e.g. the Trashion Show, sorely missed in 2021), offering and managing community garden spaces for residents, and managing their public permaculture pocket park, the CommuniTea Garden.

The Resiliency Hub plans to use these grant funds to expand the offerings of the CommuniTea Garden. This beautiful green space on 100 W @ Walnut Lane reuses resources, exemplifies water management techniques, and grows culinary, medicinal, and ethnobotanical herbs and fruit for public use. They will be purchasing more plants, a plant propagator to grow more plants to share with other gardens and community members, and a rainwater catchment system to increase growing capacity on currently unirrigated land.

Keep an eye out for these additions later this year and more educational/stewardship opportunities at the CommuniTea Garden! And stay tuned for more collaborations with the Resiliency Hub, including their Moab Community Gardens Workshop Series that we are co-sponsoring!
