CULTIVATING PLACE FOUNDATION
EIN #33-1665277
The Cultivating Place Foundation's work is made possible by the CP Community and
by major support from the Catto Shaw Foundation, in honor of Bailey Shaw.
PRINCIPLES
-
Engage, encourage, educate & empower Gardeners/cultivators of place in order to cultivate a world where every Gardener is a Keystone species for people & places.
-
Focus on the great diversity of Gardeners and their Gardens/cultivated places as critical links to better communities, environments, and economies, because every act of cultivating place with care (read: Big - G Gardening) is an oppotunity to take better care of each other and our world.
-
Advocate for valued & recognized Gardeners of all kinds: home, amateur, professional.
-
Promote the importance of cultivating all of our places well: with best care, information, intention.
-
Support sustainable, transformative, and diverse Gardening/Gardeners as essential knowledge holders & literacy across time, space, background & culture.
