Weaver Creek Park Community Food Forest is an agricultural, educational, and cultural hub. The park is open to the public and boasts 500 fruit trees, 3 vineyards, 1 berry patch, Spider Woman Indigenous Plant Maze, a butterfly-shaped pollinator garden, a picnic pavilion, an apiary with around 20 beehives, kindness tree, little free library, and 70 community garden beds. All food and classes are provided by Jovial Concepts for free to the community.
Maintaining this park requires annually about $50,000 in materials, 2,000 volunteers, and over 4,500 volunteer hours annually! It takes a village!! We want to provide amazing food focused landscapes for our community that are rich with education and culture.
This project exposes urban youth and their families to citizen science projects with bud burst and the monarch foundation, it supports nutrition education, pollinator education, Native American low water growing practices, and grows over 5,000lbs of food annually for families in need.
Jovial hopes to expose thousands of youth and their families each year to what an Indigenous food rich habitat would look like. Families learn to grow food in their own back yard and we can replace water heavy crops like grass with drought tolerant native food and medicine sources, that not only feed us, but our local pollinators as well.
