Cultivating a New Economy Through Community Gardens

  • Seeds of Hope, Edendale Grove MicroFarm 860 Echo Park Avenue Los Angeles, CA, 90026 United States (map)

Join ecosystem builder Omar Brownson, Executive Director of the Los Angeles Community Garden Council, to explore how community-grown food is fueling a new kind of exchange—one rooted in a reimagined commons, decentralized leadership, and a future beyond extraction. With over 40 gardens and 2,000+ members across LA, the Council is pioneering a shift toward locally governed ecosystems that offer more than food—they offer belonging, resilience, and a blueprint for a thriving urban future.
