Thank you for making our Open House event a success!

We’re thrilled to see our community grow! Last Saturday, October 13th, we were honored to host about 70 community members for our Open House event. Together we feasted, enjoyed performances by local musicians, planted the first flowers and hedges of our new pollinator garden, learned about existing Terra Cultura programs, and shared our visions for its future. We are so grateful to everyone who attended. Thank you to the musicians, volunteers, and sponsors who helped make it a success. We are lucky to live in such a supportive community, and we can’t wait to keep building Terra Cultura with you.

Help Terra Cultura Grow!

The Open House marked the launch of our Fall Fundraising Campaign! Terra Cultura is in an exciting phase of growth as we look to expand our educational programming in 2019. Terra Cultura’s mission has only become more urgent and necessary since we founded the nonprofit several years ago. It will take strong communities to advocate for themselves for a better future. And that’s what Terra Cultura is cultivating. Through workshops and events that connect the community to the land and to a shared culture, we aim to empower the next generation of ecologically-minded growers and culture makers. As a small grass-roots organization, we rely on community support to make as big an impact as possible.

The Fall Fundraising Campaign will raise money for: an outdoor classroom, a community garden, and stipends to draw quality, diverse educators to teach workshops to the community.

Learn more about these exciting new initiatives, and watch our video HERE! No donation is too small. Every little bit helps us to enhance our important educational programs.
