Listen Later

Ever marvelled at the magic of a seed transforming into a plant? Want to unravel the wonder of community gardening and the profound effects of regenerative agriculture? Then you're in the right place. Embark on a journey with us, as we explore the power of community, shared interests, and technology in shaping our interactions with the world around us. We delve into the heart of the Local Ecology and Agriculture Fremont (LEAF) organization, and its pivotal role in urban gardening here in Fremont.

Unearthing the beauty of the gardening space at the California nursery and the Stone Garden, community nurtured spaces, you'll witness the rewarding progress made through love and hard work. Hear about the affordable cost of renting a garden plot at LEAF, bridging the gap for those without their own space to cultivate their own vegetables and herbs. Stay tuned as we discuss the virtues of patience, dedication, and commitment, learned through gardening and their parallels in music and food production. 

You'll also get practical advice on home gardening, the importance of understanding your local climate, and the magic of worm composting. Concluding the episode, we're thrilled to share the exciting news about LEAF's collaboration with ACWD and the city of Fremont to create an Urban Garden. So, grab your gardening gloves and join us on this horticultural adventure. Let's grow together!
