We are always thankful for our volunteers. We are in a propagating frenzy these days and could use some eager volunteers. We are already working on the regenerative farm model for the Agrihood in our gardens at the ELSEE lab and at Hester School!
Your help now can contribute to more innovation in regenerative farming practices. We hope this eco-friendly model will become the new norm in urban agriculture. You can help us show folks how much food we can grow while preserving habitat and biodiversity.
Since our last newsletter, we’ve had exciting developments on work toward the Agrihood in the Valley Fair area, had a tour of the ATT Park garden and got a great donation from a local salvaged lumber company. You can catch up with all the things we’re doing and learn about aquaponics, November’s plant of the month and more with the articles below.
Lara Hermanson of Farmscape, an urban farming maintenance contractor, recently gave a tour of the ATT Park garden to members of our Agrihood design team and Vince Cantore, from Core Companies. Lara and her team manage the stadium garden. Learn more about how the garden works within the community.

At its heart, aquaponics is a pretty simple concept. Fish poop in water, which fertilizes a crop. The plants filter and clean the water for the fish. This is a natural relationship as old as time and with today’s technology it can be had right in your backyard.
Our mission is to demonstrate the beauty, garden worthiness, and ecological appropriateness of
California native gardens and to advance knowledge of native plants and increase their availability.
Please join us to learn more about the Middlebrook Center.
