The Beech House
The Beech House is home to our foundation's outdoor classroom. It will provide different forms of engagement for our members, including designing, planting, and maintaining the landscape. Over half of the landscaping at the Beech House is edible. We utilized the space with vegetable landscaping to allow our members to enjoy the home-grown fruits and vegetables they will be growing for the community. The Love Yourz Foundation hopes the members take the sustainable living skills learn here back to their homes and or communities.
