Medicinal Garden 2026
Circular Compost + Medicinal Pollinator Garden (Coming to Tuskegee Honey LLC)
We’re building a circular, walkable compost and medicinal pollinator garden that demonstrates the full cycle of regeneration — from soil → plant → wellness. This space will be part learning garden, part habitat, and part community gathering place.
Our Mission
Our mission with this project is to help everyday people reconnect with the land through simple composting, pollinator-friendly planting, and practical herbal education. We believe small, hands-on learning spaces can spark big change — healthier soil, healthier habitats, and healthier communities. That’s why we’re creating an easy-to-walk, easy-to-understand garden that shows the full story from waste to compost, compost to plants, and plants to everyday use.
