Our Work On The Ground

Our Work On The Ground

Our values…

Intergenerationality

We value ancestral knowledge and practices passed down from previous generations that teach us how to live in right-relationship with the natural world and with each other. Like the succession of a forest, The Garden’s Edge provides leadership and educational opportunities to future generations.

Collaboration

We value the strength that comes from our collaborative approach. Our work reflects the unique perspectives of the many to create a more inclusive, more resilient movement for food sovereignty.

Transformation

Our work is transformative at the personal and collective level. We are a reflective organization that strives to be in right-relationship with ourselves, our partners, our ancestors, and with Mother Nature. At The Garden’s Edge, everyone is a leader, engaged in a life-long process of learning and growing. 

Social and Ecological Justice

We value the fair and kind treatment of all life. Our work honors and supports the struggle to protect human rights and the rights of Mother Nature. We acknowledge the devastating impacts of colonization and genocide on indigenous peoples. Together we plant the seeds of justice.

Interdependence

We believe in the interdependence of personal health, community health, and ecological health. At The Garden’s Edge, people young and old, connected across cultures and across borders work together in harmony with the natural world to create more resilient, healthy communities.

Curiosity

At The Garden’s Edge, we approach our work with curiosity. This reminds us that we all play a unique and important role in creating the whole. We learn, and then teach one another. More than answers we seek with curiosity, the generative questions that help us grow. 

Wholeness

We support the social, physical, cultural, and spiritual well-being of our staff, our partners, and our communities. 

Creativity

We value the process of bringing a vision, inspiration, design, or dream from the realm of the imagination into the everyday physical and social world.
