This public commons in Washington Park is planted for food, medicine, wildlife habitat, craft material and storm water mitigation. It is open every day and is used for education both historic and modern. The public is invited to participate in open volunteer days and permaculture classes use the gardens for training. Forage, medicinal herbs, dye plants and other uses are layered onto the beauty of the naturalized plantings. A new program is allowing Caregivers to plant the Farm garden as they mind their young charges. Butterfly species have risen from zero to nine as the landscape becomes ever more dynamic.
