How to Support Arizkatt
Knowledge is shared freely here. If Arizkatt has enriched your life and you're able, help make that possible for the next person.
I'll be honest about something: this work still has real costs, and I'm working toward a bigger goal of one day having land — 20+ acres — for this community to gather on permanently. Sharing knowledge freely and needing resources to grow aren't in conflict for me. They're both true at the same time. So if any of the options below speak to you, know that it genuinely helps, in whatever form it takes.
You don't need to do all of these, or even one of them, to belong here. But if you're able and it feels right, here's how:
🌿 Financial Contribution
Every Herb Walk is offered on a suggested-contribution basis — $20 is the anchor, but pay what you're able, including nothing if that's where you are right now. If you're able to give more, you're helping make sure someone else never has to choose between the cost and the experience.
You can contribute directly via Venmo, bring cash to a walk, or reach out at arizkattsherbs@gmail.com if you'd like another way to give.
🕰️ Volunteer Time
Help set up or break down at a walk, assist with a future workshop, or lend a hand with something behind the scenes. If you have an hour or two and want to be useful, just ask what's needed.
🌱 Native Plants or Seeds
If you have native plants, seeds, or cuttings you're willing to share, they may find a home in a future garden or restoration project. Bring them to a walk, or reach out first if you want to make sure it's the right fit.
🛠️ Tools
Gardening tools, harvesting supplies, or equipment that could support walks and future workshops are always welcome. If you're not sure whether something's useful, ask.
🎓 Skills
Maybe you're good with websites, photography, writing, event planning, or something else entirely. If you have a skill you'd like to offer, even for an hour, it helps more than you'd think.
📷 Photography
Photos from a walk — yours, of you, of the plants, of the group — help tell Arizkatt's story to people who weren't there. If you take a good one, feel free to share it (and tag or send it along).
✍️ Writing
If something from a walk or a conversation moves you to write about it, I'd love to see it — whether it's a reflection for the blog, a note, or just something you want to share.
🏕️ Helping Maintain Gathering Spaces
As Arizkatt grows toward having its own land, help with upkeep — clearing a trail, tending a garden bed, general stewardship — will matter more and more. For now, that might look like helping tidy up before or after a walk.
💬 Simply Inviting Someone New
This might be the easiest and most valuable one. If you know someone who'd love this — a friend, a neighbor, someone curious about plants — invite them to a walk. Every person who finds their way here started with someone else saying "come with me."
Every contribution is valued because every contribution strengthens the whole. If you want to help and aren't sure where you fit, just reach out — arizkattsherbs@gmail.com.
