Organizer of Community Building
Founded by USDA botanist James A. Duke and his wife Peggy in 1997, The Green Farmacy Garden (GFG) is now owned and operated by theCommunity Ecology Institute(CEI). Located in Fulton, MD, GFG is a sanctuary for approximately 300 native and non-native species of plants that have been used traditionally and/or researched for medicinal applications. The Dukes collected medicinal plants for over sixty years, and in 1997, they transformed part of their pasture land into a teaching garden. Organized in plots that echo chapters of Jim’s book,The Green Pharmacy,the Garden highlights medicinal plants of global herbal traditions.The Green Farmacy Garden is also a part of the United Plant Savers network of sanctuaries around the country, which strive to educate the public and maintain native plant species that have become at risk or endangered.The garden and grounds are accessible to the public only by event registration or private appointment. Please visit our website for full details on volunteering.CEI's mission is Cultivating Communities where People and Nature Thrive Together.
