A private home garden consultation Urban Farms LA was born with the goal of empowering people to lead healthier lives. Edible home gardens have far-reaching benefits beyond just cultivating the fresh, nutritious food we put into our bodies. Being outside in nature, working with soil and even just seeing insects and birds all have therapeutic mental health benefits. Gardens strengthen communities, encourage self-sufficiency and connect people with planet. Increased backyard greenery and food production also challenges the model of industrial agriculture that is harming our environment through the use of: heavy machinery that compacts irreplaceable topsoil pesticides and herbicides that run into our waterways mono-cropping that destroys genetic diversity in food and animals extreme water demands that lead to drought and desertification With just a sunny spot and some care, we turn the table on destructive methods of farming and reap all of the benefits of gardening without ever leaving home.
