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 Take Me Out to the Home Run Derby!, 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. For more information or to volunteer your time, please contact Keeley Morgan at petalhealinggarden@gmail.com or (769) 237-1557.
