Join us for a celebration of Compassion Week! Blackwood is proud to partner with Compassionate Houston a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to growing the compassionate culture of Greater Houston through awareness, education, community, and service.

All are welcome to join us as we plant, harvest and share our bounty. Come learn about Skyfarm Houston’s largest rooftop farm and model for the possibilities of rooftop soil growing and urban, community-supported agriculture. Volunteer participants will engage in farm activities including the germinating of sunflowers. They will plant two pots to share the sunflower harvest – one for themselves and one as an act of kindness for someone else.

Through this Compassionate Houston provides support compassion skills education and practice across our city and the region, opportunities for individuals and partners to network, thereby fostering innovative and synergistic solutions toward community needs, foster initiatives that nurture inter-cultural relationships and understanding, and to recognize innovative, compassion-focused individuals and group projects.

This event is FREE but registration is required!
