Vacant Lots Farm Club is a system that allows for large scale food and flower plantings to utilize vacant spaces quickly.
We create therapeutic landscapes at scale in urban environments, and contribute to the practice of therapeutic horticulture in our larger agriculture system.
The kit of parts is a collection of components designed to cultivate therapeutic urban landscapes right in the heart of the city. Each crafted to cultivate not just plants, but a sense of serenity and wellbeing amidst the bustling rhythm of urban life.
The kit of parts allows our farm to integrate with the existing site context and surrounding community, making each lot a unique experience.
