Hali Ann Vanderburg
December 1st, 1987-July, 20th 2021

Hali was human and as a young human was still working on self awareness and personal growth through life experiences. She loved the soft beauty of birds singing, insects doing their thing and their daily life in nature; a lover of all animals and plants ,succulents in particular. She could identify a rock, where it came from around here and find something to appreciate even in the ugliest rock in the field.

Here is a “Hali’s Marigold Garden” that was planted in her honor at the garden with seeds Hali planted in March. If you’re finding the urge to ‘’do something’’ to grieve or honor Hali, perhaps volunteering for an hour, a day or forever would be a great way to celebrate her life. A drip system is being put in this weekend and they can use the help.

Hali volunteered for the Dirt2Table Project and in the Og-Woi there are beautiful and vibrant marigolds and sunflowers that she hand seeded, indicative of how life can thrive even in the most adverse environments and situations.

You can donate to this project by visiting the donation page. Follow the instructions to put in “Hali’s Garden” when you donate. Donations will be used to maintain the Hali’s pollinator garden.
