Jardines y huertos
Soulful Seeds opera varios jardines comunitarios certificados por el USDA en toda la comunidad. Con el apoyo de nuestro pequeño personal, los vecinos de los jardines trabajan junto con voluntarios públicos para mantener estos jardines y huertos. Todo lo que cultivamos en los jardines se reinvierte en la comunidad de forma gratuita.
JardÃn en el Hospital de Santa MarÃa
El jardÃn de Saint Mary's es un jardÃn de 1000 pies cuadrados compuesto por canteros elevados. Soulful Seeds se hizo cargo del jardÃn en 2017. Cada año, producimos más de 1000 libras de productos agrÃcolas de los canteros elevados del jardÃn y distribuimos los productos a los vecinos locales y a las despensas comunitarias.
JardÃn en nuestra casa
El jardÃn de Our Place es un jardÃn urbano de 3 acres ubicado en el campus de viviendas transitorias de Our Place que atiende a mujeres y niños sin hogar . El jardÃn incluye 32 canteros elevados, 5400 pies cuadrados de espacio de cultivo cubierto, un huerto y un campo de cultivo de 1 acre.
Urban Orchard at CARE Chest
The orchard at Care Chest is the first orchard to be installed through funding from the USDA Division of Urban Forestry. Care Chest’s campus is 3-acres and the orchard will include fruiting trees and berry bushes. All produce will be distributed into the surrounding community where 58% of neighbors receive SNAP benefits (Nevada Tomorrow). Care Chest is a local nonprofit that has provided free medical resources to the community for 35 years.
Courtyard Garden at Note-Able Music Therapy Services
The Courtyard Garden on the Note-Able Music Therapy Services (NMTS) Campus, maintained by Soulful Seeds, is a vibrant, inclusive growing and gathering space. Designed with raised beds, sensory-friendly plantings, and welcoming gathering areas, Soulful Seeds will host seasonal planting days and hands-on activities that unite NMTS participants, staff, and community members. In addition to enriching the lives of those served by NMTS, the garden also benefits surrounding neighborhoods by providing access to fresh produce, opportunities for connection, and a shared space that fosters resilience and well-being across the broader Reno/Sparks community.
