One afternoon in early spring, I met Jay Nethercott on a lot in downtown Moab that he estimates could have made him hundreds of thousands of dollars. But instead, he joined forces with local nonprofit Resiliency Hub to create a space where nature meets community. It’s called the CommuniTea Garden, a name inspired by the “Tea and a Topic” open forums that Resiliency Hub hosts in addition to other events, such as seed swaps and skill-shares.
