Backyard Bhakti.
Backyard Bhakti, a group that emerged from the Community Development Initiative (CDI), is committed to assisting people begin and maintain a small home garden. For the cost of materials and some pay-it-forward participation, the Backyard Bhakti team will conduct a workshop at your home on constructing, filling and planting a 4 x 8 foot raised-bed garden (just add water and bhakti). Like to have a garden at your house?
In 2018, from the Alachua Hare Krishna Temple Community Development Initiative, several Action Teams were formed to develop Focus Areas identified as interests/needs of the community. Backyard Bhakti is focusing on the vision of a community where members live a simpler, more natural way of life as taught by Srila Prabhupada.
The team’s mission is to encourage and facilitate a collaborative culture in the community for learning and implementing sustainable agriculture and cow protection.
