The Shed
1355 Lincoln Ave, Pasadena
The Rebirth of an Agricultural Empire: From top food producer to food desert, what happened and what’s next for growing food in Los Angeles County?
Until very recently, parkway gardens were still illegal in the City of Los Angeles, and residents were being issued fines for planting edible parkway gardens in areas that are considered food deserts. Come to the Shed to discuss the past, present and future of urban agriculture in Los Angeles County, and how we can shape current policy to encourage our communities to grow food, not lawns.
