Botanical Community Development Initiatives

Improving lives by connecting plants, people, and community. ​Grow Food: Community Roots Farm is a neighborhood farm that is community-run. We grow fresh, nourishing, sustainably-grown food with the community, for the community. Botany for everyone: Plants make up the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the medicine that heals us, and so much more. Botany is for everyone. Through classes, internships, events, and experiences come learn more about the plants all around us. We teach botanical knowledge that enriches lives, improves our communities, and offers applicable job skills. Collaborate in Community: Through and with our relationship with plants we find common ground and can improve our lives while strengthening our communities.
