Help Build a Healing Garden for Mothers

We are fundraising to design, create and plant a perennial garden at Wild Heart Farm in honor of all the mothers–for our mothers, all those who mothered us, the mother within, and especially our Earth mother.

We are called to honor the transitions of life - birth, childhood, girlhood, womanhood, motherhood, menopause, aging, death. Our own mother, Bonnie, is nearing the end of her journey, and this garden will be a place for her creative spirit to continue to inspire others.

Bonnie loves flowers and enjoyed many years making dolls with flowers for eyes and tending a raucous and wild flower garden in her retirement. This Mother Healing Garden represents a shift from annual to perennial farming at Wild Heart Farm, from production to education, from individual to collective. We intend to create a healing space for the community to gather, celebrate, grieve and learn together.

Will you join us in the rest and reimagining of this wild-hearted land and ourselves? We need your help!

Please consider donating funds and/or your time to dig in with us. Contributions will help us purchase perennial plants, bulbs, seeds, soil mix, compost, irrigation, maintenance, fencing, earthworks to protect the garden from flooding.

Supporters of this campaign will receive a year’s worth of invitations to work, play and rest in the new garden. An opportunity to purchase a plant in honor of a Mother in your life or any of the many things it will take to support her: time, tools, soil amendments, water.

Please consider sharing this invitation with a friend or loved one.

May All Beings Benefit

About the Farm - www.wildheartfarmaz.com

The mission of Wild Heart Farm is to nourish body and spirit by connecting people with the beauty and wisdom of nature.

Wild Heart Farm is nestled on one acre in the woodland desert of Rimrock, Arizona. We began in 2020 as a cut flower farm for weddings and life events to share the beauty and joy of flowers while connecting people to this very special place. What we learned over many full seasons was that flowers and gardens help us stop, they ground us to what is real and safe and free. After five seasons in this place, it is apparent that the land and our bodies are telling us to rest. We want others to rest and we want the land to rest. We will be inviting our community to partake in seasonal offerings–native plants, education, garden coaching, rest and retreats. THANK YOU for your support!
