About

Food is at the center of everyone's lives.

And yet so few people have access to good nutritious food. Black and Indigenous people of color are often at the center of food deserts, especially those who live in urban environments.  Having a space where we can learn how to grow our own food and reclaim the power taken from us, having the ability to become self-reliant when it concerns our basic needs, and having a place where we can grow food that centers our history is essential to decolonization. 

While we appreciate your allyship...

We find it most important the garden remains a safe space for people of color. We do not want it to become a place where people come to express their allyship, nor do we want to turn it into a place where people of color are pushed into becoming the educator for white allies who choose to interact with the space. It is in our beliefs that in order to keep the space truly safe and comfortable, it must be wholly centered around black & indigenous people of color. 

We also invite you to question your entitlement to the space.

Thank you.
