Growing Hope Gardens

Growing Hope Gardens

We are Growing Hope Gardens (GHG), a non-profit that implements, grows and sustains regenerative, organic food gardens with residents of affordable housing and homeless shelters in Los Angeles.

GHG was founded in 2019 by Carolyn Day, a Master Gardener who witnessed the power of edible gardens while volunteering at a homeless shelter. Having experienced homelessness as a youth, Carolyn was especially sensitive to the reality that food insecurity is often a result of transitional living.

GHG specialises in urban food growing solutions and developing onsite resident knowledge and stewardship. We convert ornamental beds into edible ones and support them with 26 yearly maintenance visits that engage residents in food growing activities. We also specialize in soil building since all of our growing happens in containers. We also have a paid work program for unhoused youth and elderly folks.

During 2021-22, we sustain 10 organic resident food gardens available 24/7 to 650 residents, have planted 9500 seedlings on 14,600 square feet of organic, urban growing space for fruits, vegetable and herbs with intergenerational residents. We also donated 28000lbs of fresh produce to our garden participants.

keep it grün

keep it grün

keep it grün wants to make biochar as accessible as possible by providing information and developing means to produce it decentrally. Founded in 2022, keep it grün provides information about and access to permaculture, natural gardening, and biochar. Biochar is a carbon sink that increases soil fertility and drought resistance of plants. Thereby it also increases harvest yields in urban gardening conditions.

Wild & Root

Wild & Root

Wild & Root ist ein Kollektiv von kreativen Geschichtenerzähler*innen. Wir entwerfen interaktive Kampagnen, Beratungen und Teambuilding-Events für nachhaltige Marken und verwandeln ihre Werte in einnehmende Erfahrungen. Wir glauben an den Wert von Lebensmitteln, Umweltbildung und emotionalen Verbundenheit.

Als Food-Kreativagentur entwerfen und realisieren wir Strategien und Veranstaltungen, bei denen Lebensmittel als Sprachmittel eingesetzt werden. Ob extern (z.B. für Kund*innen und Pressevertreter*innen) oder intern (z. B. fürs Teambuilding), wir wollen, dass unsere Gäste Lebensmittel schmecken, riechen und erleben.

Wir erleben ein entscheidendes Momentum, um den Wert von Nahrungsmitteln in das Leben der Menschen zurückzubringen. Wir schaffen sensorisch ansprechende Essenserlebnisse, die eine spielerische Selbstwahrnehmung ermöglichen. Indem wir die Grenze zwischen Kunstinstallation und Marketinghandwerk verwischen, fördern wir den Dialog mit nachhaltigen Ideen.

So stellen wir beispielsweise lokale Produkte vor und heben bei Veranstaltungen das Potenzial einer Region hervor. Wie wir das umsetzen? Die Hauptidee dieser Veranstaltungen besteht darin, konventionelle Debatten um Produkte aufzubrechen und spielerische Elemente einzuführen. Das macht die Teilnehmer*innen empfänglicher für die Schönheit vor ihrer Haustür.

Wild & Root

Wild & Root

Wild & Root is a collective of creative storytellers. We craft interactive campaigns, consulting and team building events for sustainable brands, turning their values into engaging experiences. We believe in the value of food, environmental education and emotional connection.

As a food creative agency, we design and implement strategies and events using food as a language medium. Whether externally (e.g., for customers and press representatives) or internally (e.g., team building), we want guests to taste, smell and experience food.

We are witnessing a pivotal moment for bringing the value of food back into people’s lives. We create sensorially engaging food experiences which allow playful self-awareness. Blurring the line between art installation & marketing craft, we encourage a dialogue with sustainable ideas.

For instance, we showcase local products and highlight the potential of a region during special events. How? The main idea of these events is to break conventional product debates and introduce playful elements. This makes participants more receptive to the beauty on their doorstep.
