Edible Gardens and Green Spaces at the Teen Shelter, Family House

the Karma Project

Landscape Designer Ashley Gamell will create multiple thriving gardens and green spaces at the teen shelter, Family House. Each garden will be designed to beautify the Family House property, creating edible gardens, aromatherapy and perennial pollinator gardens and a log seating circle. This Karma Project will provide horticulture therapy for residents and beautify their spaces, inspiring them with the joy and satisfaction of watching things grow and reaping the harvest you've sown.
