CONNECTING TO THE
LAND & EACH OTHER
WHAT WE'RE ABOUT
FOOD JUSTICE
We believe in feeding ourselves and our neighbors; promoting biodiversity and sustainable practices and fighting food apartheid in our city.
COMMUNITY
ACTION
EDUCATION
GREEN SPACE ACCESS
We organize and support ecology-related events in our neighborhood.
Our goal is to educate, celebrate, and bring people together.
​
Building resilience by sharing skills. Compost techniques, seed starting, traditional methods -
we are here to learn as much as we can together.
We advocate for more free and open green space, and work to steward the spaces that already surround us.
OUR FIRST PROPOSAL
A publicly owned, organized and operated urban green space at Hoyt Avenue North and 21st Street. This area will serve as an educational garden and community space, to help our neighbors envision how to cultivate plants in small spaces and how to use them, as well as increase the number of native plants and pollinators in the area.
