Our mission is to combat food insecurity through urban agriculture and regenerative living.
We teach people how to grow food and care for the environment through principles of permaculture and agroecology to create healthy and sustainable communities.
We build healthy communities by growing food organically, using regenerative agriculture practices, cultivating gardens and green spaces to create a sustainable environment.
We thoughtfully design and install drought-tolerant landscapes with California native plants, to build soil, attract pollinators, clean our air, and ultimately transform urban habitats into a thriving ecosystem.
