Tatum's Garden

Earth Day Event 2026 was a huge success thanks to these amazing young volunteers from 🌎

Students gathered in the morning to give their time for a park cleanup, and then brought in a dozen amazing vendors who taught our community valuable lessons and shared resources about composting, recycling, water conservation, animal services, healthy eating and more! Our hearts are full!! 💚💙

🌿 We’re expanding the Tatum’s Garden Board in 2026.

If you’ve ever wanted to make a real impact in our community — without an overwhelming time commitment — this is your moment.

✔️ Hybrid format (6 Zoom + 6 in-person)
✔️ Centrally located meetings (right off Hwy 68)
✔️ Predictable monthly schedule
✔️ Mission-driven, collaborative board

Tatum’s Garden is the first fully inclusive playground in the tri-county area. Joining the board means helping protect and grow that promise for the next generation.

Meet & Greets are happening in March (see graphic for dates + locations). Downloadable flyer on our website under About section.
