A Weekend to Remember: From Garden to Community Impact

Urban Farming Revolution

Urban agriculture means far more than simply planting seeds— it's about thoughtfully cultivating vibrant, healthy communities and joyfully reconnecting with wholesome, real food through innovative rooftop gardens, productive backyard plots, and meaningful church partnerships that nourish both body and soul. And now, St. Petersburg has new Urban Agriculture Guidelines, that will make it easier than ever to be part of the movement.

Transformative Educational

Our comprehensive training programs are expertly designed for enthusiastic aspiring teachers, passionate local leaders, and dedicated community members who genuinely want to make a tangible difference — starting with the fertile soil beneath their feet and growing into lifelong skills for sustainable living. Through our weekend intensives students have launched small-scale Cottage Industries that support local economies and community wellness.

Flourishing Cottage Industries

Ambitious students have successfully launched numerous small-scale Urban Farms that creatively support resilient local economies while simultaneously enhancing overall community wellness through organic food producion, herbal remedies, and sustainable crafts. Some have stayed to teach, farm, and inspire right here in the neighborhoods they love. With strong partnerships especially with local churches, we are planting the seeds of long-term transformation.
