The Gift of Growing

About

March 2020 a global pandemic hit and the world stood still.

​

Our hands could not stay idle. We couldn't be fully immersed in our commUnity,
so we pivoted, which is our specialty. 

​

We began building small garden boxes out of heat-treated pallets. Seedlings were gifted to us from friends at Alameda Greenhouse and Osuna Nursery. Dirt was gifted from Soilutions.

​

A new pop-up program was created in 48 hours.  The community entered for a ready-to-grow garden. Boxes. Pots. Soil. Seedlings. Seeds. Thousands of possible pounds of food were put into the commUnity
