Good Way Gardens' Cultural Center is made possible solely through the generosity of
Colleen and Rick Mitchell with support from Mitchell Markowitz Construction

Outdoor Concerts & Listening Room

We bring incredible performances to Emporia for free concerts in the park and ticketed concerts in our intimate listening room.

Education & Connection

Good Way participants make mullein torches from dried mullein, bees wax, and dried flower buds.

We host events that connect you with like-minded folks, and create opportunities for our community members to share their
skills and passions.

Garden & Kitchen Opportunities
