L.A. Green Grounds

L.A. Green Grounds Transforming South Los Angeles into a food forest. One lawn at a time. Residents host a garden "Dig-in" when this work happens.

Started in 2010, LA Green Grounds is a grassroots organization of volunteers dedicated to working with residents of South Los Angeles, California to convert their front lawns and parkways into edible landscapes and urban farms. Inviting family, friends, neighbors, and volunteers to participate, creates a sense of community. Everyone learns how to convert lawns into edible landscapes that encourage

and inspire neighborhoods to" grow their own". We work closely with our garden recipients to guide them through each growing season and provide ongoing support through teaching sustainable practices and offering wellness activities. We like to think of LA Green Grounds as a way of life. Our mission is to empower South LA's communities and beyond, one garden at a time.
