Diamond Head Community Garden, talking story with Anna, who runs community gardening for the City of Honolulu and oversees 1,200 beds across 11 sites.

Anna and I also both serve on the founding board member of the Urban Garden Project.

At LA Community Garden Council we’re at 40+ gardens and 2,000+ members. Different island, different climate, same questions: who gets a bed, how you handle conflict, what happens when a garden outgrows its plan.
Mahalo to Anna for the time and the tour. 🌱

🌱 Final hours.

Over the last 21 days, 73 people have given nearly $3,700, unlocking an estimated $5,000–6,000 in matching funds for community gardens across Los Angeles.

Thank you.

One of my favorite parts of this campaign has been sharing stories from our gardens—people growing food, building friendships, stepping into leadership, and creating places where neighbors belong.

If you’ve been thinking about donating, there’s still time. Every gift, even $5, helps grow this work.

And if you’ve already given, thank you for believing in community gardens and for making this campaign possible. I appreciate you. 💚

Sometimes the harvest is too good not to celebrate. 😂🥒

Kathy from Howard Finn Community Garden insisted this zucchini was “as big as a baby”—and then rocked it to prove her point.

It’s the perfect reminder that community gardens grow more than food. They grow laughter, friendship, and moments you’ll never forget.

This is the final day, July 21st, of our Ma Earth campaign. If these stories make you smile, we’d be grateful for your support. Every gift helps us grow more moments like this. 🌱

Some things are hard to see, but still worth tending.

At Howard Finn Community Garden, one of their longest-standing gardeners is losing her sight. She now gardens mostly by touch—feeling the leaves, the soil, and the plants she’s cared for over the years. But today, she could still make out the bright new flowers blooming in her plot.

Community gardens remind us that growing isn’t just about what we harvest. It’s about showing up for one another through every season of life. 🌼

Leadership has changed the way Lana Lee Taylor thinks about community.

As the new Garden Chair at Fountain Community Garden, she’s learned one of the biggest lessons of all: it’s not a one-person show. Real leadership means asking for help and creating space for others to contribute.

And that’s what community gardens do so well.

Yes, we grow food. But we also grow hope, connection, and the belief that something beautiful can take root—even in the middle of the city.

Support our gardens with our crowdfunding campaign July 1-21 with Ma Earth. Link in bio.

“What if every neighborhood had a community garden?”

Erica was recently elected Events Coordinator at Howard Finn Community Garden, and her vision is simple: community gardens help people eat healthier, improve well-being, and create safe places for people who may not have anywhere else to go.

They’re more than places to grow food. They’re places to grow belonging.

We’re building that future one garden—and one leader—at a time.

🌱 Do you think every neighborhood should have a community garden?

Support our crowdfunding campaign with Ma Earth from July 1-21.

Every thriving community garden is built the same way—not by one person doing everything, but by many people each doing a small part.

With quadratic crowdfunding from Ma Earth, the number of people who participate matters more than the size of any one gift.

So far, 46 people have contributed more than $2,500, helping unlock an estimated $9,000 in matching funds for community gardens across Los Angeles.

We’d love to reach 50 donors next.

If our work has meant something to you, consider joining in. Even $5 makes a difference.

Day 2 of 21 🌱

Community gardens teach us both sovereignty and interdependence.

Each gardener has their own relationship with the land. But we also share water, compost, pathways, decisions, and care.

That’s why leadership matters.

Our Shared Land, Shared Leadership campaign helps build tools for gardeners to share land and leadership well.

Every supporter helps unlock matching funds.
