Natasha’s approach to urban gardening is centered on people first, plants second, and that is where it outperforms many methods.
- Community-based: We Sow We Grow is about teaching neighbors to grow food for themselves, not just showcasing a pretty garden. Skills, not just harvest, are the “product.”
- Real-life Chicago context: Raised in the city and growing in Chicago soil, Natasha focuses on what works in tight spaces, rough climates, and ordinary backyards and lots.
- Education and access: Workshops, online sharing, and partnerships help regular families—especially those often left out of food and ag conversations—start growing.
- Holistic homesteading: It is gardening tied to family life, preserving, and community building, not a standalone hobby.
What part of urban gardening are you most curious about—space-saving, soil, community work, or something else?
