Kiosk Fundraiser for the GFG
Help us welcome visitors to the Green Farmacy Garden in Fulton, MD, with the info needed to get involved in workshops, volunteering, socials, and more! This kiosk will be prominently placed at the entrance area of the Green Farmacy Garden and keep up-to-date information to inform guests about the Green Farmacy Garden's programs and opportunities.
The Community Ecology Institute is honored to be the new owner and steward of the Green Farmacy Garden (GFG), a unique teaching garden as well as plant and seed sanctuary created by world-renowned ethnobotanist Dr. James A. Duke (1929–2017), who curated more than 300 plant species traditionally used and/or researched for their medicinal properties. The terraced garden beds are organized according to the properties described in The Green Pharmacy (Rodale, 1997). From 1971 until 2021, the Green Farmacy Garden was home to the Duke family. Peggy-Ann Kessler Duke (1931–2021) was a botanist and accomplished botanical illustrator. Together, Jim and Peggy hosted tours, educational workshops, and community-building gatherings, often with live music. The gorgeous six-acre property includes myriad rare plants, two streams, two ponds, a meadow, outdoor gathering and teaching areas and a beautiful patch of established forest with walking trails—all home to bounteous wildlife.
