Save the Date – Saturday, June 27, 2026 (9:00am - 12:00pm)
Please join us for a work bee in the Four Seasons Garden at Khasdzoon Yusk'ut.

Our regular team of 6-8 volunteers has been steadily weeding and planting the garden, but the space is enormous.

A few hours with some extra hands gives our work a HUGE boost! Even if you can only come out for an hour, it makes a big difference.

We would love for you to be part of creating this beautiful garden! Everyone is welcome.
