Through gardening education, holistic living and community service,
​we are creating a vibrant culture of healthy people on healthy land.

“As we work to heal the earth, the earth heals us.”
                                                               -Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass 

Imagine...
...being deeply connected to the source of your food

...finding deep connection with others while tending the Earth

...feeling a part of a web, held by the Earth and your community

...eating food from the place you live so often that you belong to that place

...breathing deeply with your hands in the Earth, sowing seeds for justice, singing songs for peace

...having the skills to tend to your own garden and serve others​

"With the sun shining above me and new friends shining around me, I was blessed to be on this land doing this work. While working with Scotty and Maayan I was blessed to deepen personal growth, learn about the history and needs of the land, gain experience with tending and nurturing the plants that sustain us. So beautiful!"

☀ SUNSONG COMMUNITY ☀

Soul Garden's programs are hosted on our community land, SunSong. Nestled in the Appalachian mountains, our little south-facing mountain is 20 acres of field, forest and garden. Our facilitators live on the land together, share meals and care deeply about creating a more beautiful world.

We acknowledge our land project takes place on traditional Cherokee territory. As a community and organization committed to supporting social justice and indigenous rights, we aim to use our power and privilege to uplift indigenous voices and work towards a more just future for all human beings. Our programs give back to Cherokee communities through building relationships with their people and donating time and resources to help their projects.
