 Our Mission: To promote sustainability in the neighborhood, provide organic education and create a welcoming environment for the visitors and citizens of Seattle's Rainier Valley. Sustainability is the capacity to endure. One approach to sustainable living, exemplified by small-scale urban transition towns and rural ecovillages, seeks to create self-reliant communities based on principles of simple living, which maximize self-sufficiency particularly in food production. Other approaches, loosely based around new urbanism, are successfully reducing environmental impacts by altering the built environment to create and preserve sustainable cities which support sustainable transport. Residents in compact urban neighborhoods drive fewer miles, and have significantly lower environmental impacts across a range of measures, compared with those living in sprawling suburbs.  Organic horticulture is the science and art of growing fruits, vegetables, flowers, or ornamental plants by following the essential principles of organic agriculture in soil building and conservation, pest management, and variety preservation. By influencing our community to act as organically as possible, we help to make our neighborhoods and those of the future more sustainable and healthier for the next generation. |
