💚 Why It Matters

“I have been a member since 2020. And the knowledge I have gained from being a member is priceless. I was able to learn hands-on training in the garden which is important to me and my family. I have laughed, cried, and pushed my body in many ways during the yoga sessions and mental health events. I currently use the herbs that were grown in the garden for homemade seasonings to provide a healthy lifestyle for me and my family.”
— Sadiyyah Iddeen, A Sip of Paradise Garden Member
