    About Us

    Since 2019, and in partnership with Community Corporation of Santa Monica , Safe Place for Youth, Holos Communities and The People Concern , Growing Hope Gardens successfully opened and expanded 15 urban, organic, regenerative resident food gardens and fruit trees, and a 1/4 acre farm, at distinct affordable housing and homeless shelter properties in Los Angeles County
