Weeds and Deeds is an all-volunteer grassroots organization. The folks that do this work do it out of love and a drive to help our community. That means our biggest expenses are the supplies we need to make and distribute herbal remedies, maintain our gardens, and share educational materials .

Many of these containers are purchased from specialty business suppliers. This is an area where monetary donations really help, as they help us buy exactly what we need to serve the community.

Gardening and Plants

At the core of our work are the plants. The most sustainable way to get the herbs we need to heal our communities is to grow them right here. We welcome amature and experienced gardeners alike who have plants, seeds or cuttings to share. We can help you connect with community gardens or individual folks growing to support Weeds and Deeds projects.

Please reach out and tell us what you have and we’ll do our best to make it part of our work.

  • Soil
  • Compost (any type)
  • Pine Straw (can be naturally sourced)
  • Plant cuttings

    We distribute a lot of herbs to folks. We can always use more pots. The black plastic ones you buy plants in are perfect. We’ll take any size but need 2-6 inch pots, seedling trays and multipacks the most.

  • Seeds
  • Tools for gardening
    Wheelbarrows, shovels, rakes, gloves, hoes, yard bags, etc.
