In this Rewind episode, we revisit one of our most inspiring conversations — with John Edmondson, Director of Growing Neighbors, a Spokane-based initiative rooted in the belief that food, farming, and friendship can transform communities.

Originally aired on October 6, 2021, this episode explores how Growing Neighbors is turning neighborhood yards into thriving farm plots, building hyper-local food systems, and fostering meaningful human connection through shared work and purpose.

John shares how urban agriculture can be a tool for food access, sustainability, and deep community engagement — all while keeping things simple, joyful, and collaborative.

Whether it’s your first listen or a fresh revisit, this episode is a reminder of the power of growing things — together.
