“If we surrendered
to earth's intelligence
we could rise up rooted, like trees.” — Rainer Maria Rilke
Project Bees ‘n Butterflies
Working in collaboration with the City of Conway, University of Central Arkansas and Community Connections to develop and execute a community garden & apiary to be run, front-to-back, by at-risk and neurodivergent youth and young adults. The effort will afford unique opportunities to students to achieve occupational, business development and leadership skills, utilizing exhibited strengths in horticulture, apiary, trade and consumer packaged goods development, marketing and sales to their own best advantage as they grow flowers, teas, fruits and herbs; run and manage an apiary; and trade within community and regional farmers markets in the fruits of their own efforts.
