Promoting a Circle of Wellness for Our World.
We advocate for change through action toward a sustainable and equitable future. Our toolbox includes gardening, education and community engagement.
Empowering Our Community Through Education
The Orchard Community Learning Center is working to transform the way food is produced locally. Our mission is to work alongside community members to bring back the foods of the desert that have nurtured us historically.

Food Systems Change in South Phoenix.
The Orchard uses the words “healthy roots” as an intentional metaphor. A plant’s roots are healthy when our work looks to nature first in a regenerative, non-polluting manner. The healthy roots of our ancestors are respected and empowering when we look to past traditions and practices.

We’re proud to partner with these incredible organizations
