GARDEN WALKTHROUGH MAP
OUR PEACE AND UNITY REVIVAL GARDEN
At Reed's Farm, the Peace and Unity Revival Garden stands as a testament to harmony and cultural connection. Featuring over 600 species of vegetables and plants from all corners of the world, this space is a vibrant tapestry of agricultural diversity. Damon Smith, our dedicated longtime volunteer, spearheads its development and maintenance.
Damon is a military veteran who turned to gardening to aid in healing from the trauma that comes from war. As a personal project, he began collecting seeds from countries at war with each other and planting them together to bring unity through plants and food.
Damon is currently trying to find at least one seed from every country in the world. This year, our Peace and Unity Revival Garden at Reed’s farm has grown to represent 170 countries, totaling over 600 species of edible plants. It contains 176 varieties of peppers and 100 varieties of tomatoes alone!
As a connected project, he will be assisting our programming participants in planting a New Jersey garden, which will include several varieties of Jersey heirloom vegetables, such as the Jersey Devil tomato and the Jenny Lind Melon.
The Peace and Unity Revival (OUR) garden can be found to the left of the property, behind the greenhouses.
