Robin Reindle founded the garden in 2021 after discovering the benefits to the planet when Regenerative Agriculture principles are applied. Greatly inspired and with renewed hope for the future, she contacted Ralph Vigil about establishing a community growing space that demonstrated the principles of soil health including minimizing soil disturbance, keeping the soil covered, maintaining living roots, increasing plant/animal diversity, integrating livestock, and understanding your specific context. Amazingly, key benefits include increased soil fertility, better water retention and purity, reduced reliance on synthetic fertilizers, higher profitability for farmers and enhanced resilience to climate change. Ralph suggested utilizing the land where the garden now resides.
