Urban Agriculture
Urban agriculture isn’t some theoretical pretty idea — We’re actively experimenting with business models to learn what works.
At my home garden in Westchester (L.A. 90045), I maintain a growing ground for Matt VanDiepen of HomeGrown Gardens. You can find HomeGrown Gardens (and buy my plants) at
