Ask South Whidbey Tilth members what’s important about this group, and they will say camaraderie and inclusiveness.

Built from the love of growing and enjoying healthy plants,

we are a community of gardeners, farmers and consumers on South Whidbey Island who support good tilth–carbon-rich, living soil–as the foundation of a vibrant and biodiverse agriculture.
