A farm at the end of the laneway. ABOUT US
We belong to the wider work of Urban Seed (urbanseed.org) which is a registered non-profit organisation (ABN: 2039716 0659)
OUR MISSION
To live and work in neighborhoods to cultivate flourishing places, to overcome disadvantage, and to help others do the same. OUR GOALS
Urban Seedling’s goals are threefold:
(a) to cultivate a sense of place that i
s inclusive to all with a special concern for those experiencing disadvantage;
(b) to educate and demonstrate the benefits of indoor plants and sustainable, locally-produced food to both people and place; and
(c) to inspire neighbourhood and placemaking through the creation of similar systems throughout Melbourne. Urban Seedlings operates a unique indoor farm on level 1 of Central House, 174 Collins St, Melbourne. This space will be called “The Green Room.” We will propagate indoor plants for distribution and sale as well as microgreens for sale to local partner restaurants. Urban Seedling’s services include: tours for the public (schools, churches, corporations, community groups, and individuals), training and consultancy on how to build & operate an aquaponics system, and workshops on how to cultivate and maintain indoor plants for healthier living and working environments. Urban Seedlings is guided by Urban Seed’s mission, “To live and work in neighborhoods to cultivate flourishing places, to overcome disadvantage, and to help others do the same.”
