Support Highland Youth Garden

Like all nonprofits, our most pressing need is funding to support our amazing staff. Their skills and knowledge keep the garden growing and create the human connections that fuel our work. Please consider a monthly donation, which will allow us to forecast our income and keep our staff secure during this time of change in our world. Every dollar makes a difference!
