LA Green Grounds
Founded in 2010, LA Green Grounds empowers South LA residents to reclaim their land and health through cultivating edible gardens. What began as lawn conversions now centers on community education at our Teaching Garden—where people come to learn and practice organic gardening, preparing food, and building relationships with plants and each other.

Cultivating Change empowers Angelenos to take action in their communities through hands-on gardening and carpentry, while grounding their work in the historical context of systemic inequities. By reflecting on the roots of access to green space and fresh foods and the emerging local efforts to combat it, participants learn practical skills and actively engage in transforming their neighborhoods, fostering long-term resilience and lasting change.
