Our Leadership
Oyun Botanical Gardens is led by three melanated women who care deeply about the land, wellness, and community. Each leader brings her own gifts in farming, nature-based healing, and spiritual guidance. Together, they steward the garden as a place where people can reconnect with nature, learn, and heal. Through growing food, sharing knowledge, and creating welcoming community spaces, they guide Oyun as a living, breathing place rooted in care, sustainability, and collective well-being.
