Petal Healing Garden is a 501(c)3 non-profit community garden founded in November 2021 to provide
fresh produce to food insecure families and reduce waste in the Petal community. The mission is to
educate people of all ages, income levels, and abilities by reconnecting them with local food systems
and teaching gardening and nutrition education. The goal is to unify the community one seed at a time.
Currently, there are two garden sites in the city of Petal.
In addition to attending the Kid Gardening Camp, you can support the community garden by donating
via PayPal to @petalhealinggarden or by providing compost, filler for raised beds, gardening tools, and
labor for the garden. An immediate need is securing funds for a water line to the city garden site. For
more information or to volunteer your time, please contact Keeley Morgan at
