Dr. Erica Cobb, PhD
Founder, Former Director & Adviser
I believe that all children, especially urban children, should interact consistently and directly with nature, thus coming to understand and appreciate their environment and growing into responsible and enthusiastic stewards.
What better way is there than to plant and nurture their own edible garden!

PASCALE ROCHEFEUILLE

GET INVOLVED TODAY!
We are based in Kensington and Chelsea, where we are uniquely positioned to connect schools, which enjoy little or no outdoor space, with local churches whose gardens are either underused or could be more creatively shared.
