​Host an Event in Our Garden

The Franklin Permaculture Garden is a beautiful outdoor space, perfect for hosting events. We would like to share it with you for your community gathering, educational meet up or other group function. Our gardens act as living, learning labs and have tons of built in educational tools to provide. Take advantage of this space to learn about: permaculture design, plant identification, wild edibles, herbal medicine, mushroom culture, perennial vegetables and more. If your event is relevant we may want to co-host with you. Reserve the garden for your event here!
