The gardens are at the [he]art of growing a nourishing community here at Sable. The hillside of circular gardens are run by Fat Dragon Farm, with the love and labor of all who have passed through Sable. They contain veggies, fruit trees, a grape arbor, a berry patch, and lots of herbs and medicinals.

Residents are welcome to harvest, heal, & cook with food from the garden, make art there, and get plenty of dirt under their fingernails. We share this bounty with our broader community via pizza toppings at our Food & Art Fridays. Resident Artists participate in work-trade on the Sable Land, as part of our values of Land & Community.

Access: The gardens are located on a hillside with a range of slopes, and can be navigated via packed dirt pathways.

The gardens are currently overseen by Otto & Sara, and have been worked on, weeded, and maintained by too many members of the Sable community to name here. Folks who especially shaped them include Otto, Sara Bachman, Kate Truini, Lilly O’Hara, Michelle Sanders, and Anna Ready-Campbell.
