Description:

Cruise through Santa Monica’s sunny streets to see backyard farmers and scrupulous seed savers keen on turning their urban space into a fresh food haven. Atop the comfortable seat of a cruiser bike, check out well-kept gardens, explore creative compost solutions, and meet tech-savvy homesteaders.

After meeting up near the city’s iconic waterfront, pedal past quaint cafes and hip restaurants to reach the residential neighborhoods where insatiable urban farmers are staking their claim. Reach gardens brimming with the blossoms of fruit trees and vegetable patches overflowing with fresh produce.

Listen to fascinating information about the technology that allows these small-scale harvesters to thrive in green patches all around Santa Monica, and get an up-close look at the composting systems and energy-saving practices that help make edible landscapes possible.

At each stop, chat with the homeowners and community horticulturalists who are finding new ways to promote growth on their little slices of land. Before you head back to your starting point, spend some time learning about sustainability and diversity with a visit to the local seed library.
