COMMUNITY & AEROPONIC GARDENING
The second phase of SPROUT has a long-term focus on community gardening. SPROUT Gardens focus on organic and aeroponic gardening as alternatives to traditional gardening methods. They provide simple installation and effortless ability to grow food through a lightweight system compared to using soil and bring unlikely sets of neighbors together to cultivate the garden.
In the spirit of mutual aid, the gardens provide fresh fruits and vegetables to the SPROUT Fridges and an opportunity to train farm workers on new technology-driven ways to grow food. Our first gardens launched in Florida City & Homestead.

Florida City Cooking Activity
In Summer 2022, we started an aeroponic garden in Florida City with the Florida City STEM Camp. We concluded the program with a cooking activity with veggies from the garden. The kids made homemade pizzas with their fresh vegetables.
