We welcome volunteers to join us in the garden where we tend to the plants, the soil, and our practice together. Dharma Rain grows fruit, vegetables, and herbs for the temple kitchen, as well as ornamental and native plants to offer on our temple altars and to our ecosystem.
We meet weekly year-round on Wednesdays, and the occasional Saturday, except when the temple is closed or on silent retreat.
