Ujima wants to change how St. Louis eats and grows. The nonprofit, which operates urban farms in north St. Louis' Fairground and Hyde Park neighborhoods, offers apprenticeships to teens to grow produce and learn to work the land. But Ujima is facing significant change this season: Its community garden was abruptly closed down last summer after SLPS evicted several nonprofits, including Ujima, from the Clay Community Education Center. The nonprofit's founder, Nick Speed, discusses Ujima's plans for 2025, preparing for the next teen cohort of the group's "Sunflower Institute," and how it's adjusting from the loss of its community garden.

John founded the Grass Roof Company in 1998 and for the past 20 years, he's been designing and implementing gardens in public spaces that work for people, for plants and for wildlife. Often working in urban locations, he installs wildlife habitats and planting in some unusual places including on roofs and structures such as cycle shelters. He also includes many edible plants in his schemes in order to create beautiful and useful spaces that engage the community. Maintenance and management is a key focus, and is vital to the success and longevity of his projects. We also talk about the need to revise traditional maintenance practices in order to reduce costs, save time and preserve wildlife. 239: Growing Biodiversity - My guest this week is gardener Benny Hawksbee. Benny has a background in biology and gardens with one eye on biodiversity. His projects include the Eden Nature Garden, a community garden designed to be a haven for people and wildlife, and John Little's garden in Essex. We talk about how Benny brings biology and ecology into his work, what we can all do to garden for wildlife whilst reducing our input in terms of resources and how we can involve the community in building and using gardens that work for everyone.  Please support the podcast on Patreon

It’s the final full week of the year. As we take a little holiday break to recharge this week, we’re revisiting some of our favorite episodes of 2024, starting with a trip back to Shoreline. There, are reclaiming a derelict property to turn into the Ching Community Garden. Back when Patricia Murphy first visited in April, volunteers were out on weekends restoring the rich soil. They had to uproot blackberry bushes to reveal lilies and a hidden koi fish pond with a bridge. Now, months later, the effort continues - and keeps recruiting volunteers - with big plans to finally demolish the old house on the property in early 2025. Let's take a trip to the rediscovered gem of a garden near Shoreline Community College.

Send us a textJoin us as we wrap up 2024 with community leader and food sovereignty advocate Sara Continenza. Sara is the founder and executive director of Food Strong, a non-profit connecting kids with food since 2016. Sara and her staff work with the Cleveland Municipal School District and other inner-city schools to provide hands-on learning experiences in gardening, nutrition, and entrepreneurship. Recently, Food Strong's mission to educate, empower, and cultivate health through fresh foods just got a significant boost. Community Greenhouse Partners recently gifted them a three-acre farm site on Superior Avenue in Cleveland's east side. The property includes a historic house, church, food forest, farmland, and hoop houses that Food Strong is transforming into its Superior Farm. This neighborhood hub will support food sovereignty, climate resistance, and community connections. An estimated $5 million is needed to realize her vision for the property, along with the help of thousands of volunteers and neighbors. This extraordinary project is urban restoration at its best, feeding bodies, minds, and souls. Join us as we speak with Sara about this project, the wisdom of kids, Food Strong's work, and ways you can help. Our Guest:Sara Continenza, Founder and Executive Director of Food StrongLearn More:About Food StrongAbout The Superior Farm Fix-Up ProjectDonate to Food Strong's Farm ProjectBecome a SupporterVolunteer EveningsFood Strong's ProgramsFollow Food Strong on Facebook and InstagramFollow us: https://www.facebook.com/ecospeaksclehttps://www.instagram.com/ecospeakscleContact us:hello@ecospeakscle.com

Hello plant people and welcome back to Herbal Radio! This week will be the second and final episode of our 2-part series featuring the four esteemed organizations that were the recipients of the 2023 Grants 4 Plants Program. For those unfamiliar with Grants 4 Plants, Mountain Rose Herbs created the grant program back in 2018 to support nonprofits, small businesses, and home herbalists who are working towards making this planet a better place. Since its inception, we've proudly been able to fund many invaluable initiatives leading towards organic and sustainable agriculture, herbal education, protection of native and medicinal plants, and environmental stewardship. This week, we are featuring the Therapeutic Farm Assistant and the SUD Counselor of Carl E. Dahl House Community Garden, Breanna Murphy and Kelsey Cass, as well as the Founder of Cincinnati Birth Center | Safer Birth Foundation, Meghan Nowland. We hope each of you listening in today will be inspired by the commendable work these organizations are providing for their communities and beyond. Please be sure to check out the links included below to find out how you can support these invaluable initiatives. We'll see you next week when we hear from the other two organizations that won the 2023 Grants 4 Plants program. For now, we thank you for joining us on another botanical adventure!  Learn more about these organizations and the hard-working faces behind them: Carl E. Dahl House at Evergreen Grove is a residential treatment facility for me with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Unlike traditional treatment facilities, the Carl E. Dahl house used a farm care modality as part of the resident's treatment plans. Working in the gardens and with our rescue animals allows for traditional treatment barriers to be dropped allowing for a more natural approach to self-healing and care. GAAMHA, the parent company of the Carl E. Dahl House, works to create a world where people can get help when they ask for it, no matter who they are. The gardening program allows for our residents to be hands on with nature. The clinical benefits of being able to say they took ownership of garden bed, planted, watered, weeded and cared for the growing plants that eventually will produce foods that naturally heal the body are priceless and cannot be duplicated in a traditional office style treatment model. Breanna Murphy helps manage the day-to-day operations of the animal care part of the program at the Carl E. Dahl House, where they have over 60 animals, many of which are rescues or special needs. Breanna has been working with Kelsey for two years to get the garden project to where it is today. She has her Bachelor's in Sustainable Food and Farming, is a certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor, and has completed 3 herbal apprenticeships. Breanna and her husband have a small homestead and permaculture nursery called Singing Kettle Botanicals, where they focus on perennial food sources and medicinal herbs hardy to zone 5. Kelsey Cass is the Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Counselor at the Carl E Dahl House, and is in recovery herself. Kelsey and Breanna have been working together to implement the garden project as part of their clinical curriculum and therapeutic farming. Kelsey has her Bachelor's in Human Development and Family Studies, is a certified yoga instructor, and certified in permaculture design. She first became connected with GAAMHA and the farm when she started teaching yoga at the farms pilot program a couple of towns over, and volunteered with the clients doing gardening and various nature related activities. “It's been an absolute blessing to work here where I can share all my passions and interests, while helping others, and with the most amazing team of people.” – Kelsey Learn more about Carl E.
