Team Naturespace gathers neighbors, friends, and visitors to care for The Retreat at Gregory Ridge — a living ourdoor classroom and botanical garden where edible native plants restore soil, attract pollinators, and bring people together. Each volunteer day blends gentle forest upkeep, story share-outs, and community spirit. Whether you stay for an hour or an afternoon, you’ll leave grounded and energized, knowing your effort directly improved a public greenspace shared by all.
Now you can wear your love for nature on your sleeve. This year, we invite everyone on Team Naturespace to prepare to wear their Team Naturespace threads when volunteering at this urban food forest trail project.
