Projects

Our Fertile Earth Permaculture Garden

Planning, Funding, and Facilitation

Residents were in a food desert without access to fresh produce. With the help of community volunteers and students from the University of North Florida, we turned previously unused space into a functioning permaculture garden. Produce was then harvested for community dinners, to give away, and to sell at the community store for low-cost.
