University of Florida Native Garden

This small native plant garden at the University of Florida was interested in custom native plant ID signs that emphasized how each plant is beneficial to local bird species.

This garden was funded by a grant through National Audubon’s ‘Plants for Birds‘ initiative to provide accessible resources and financial support to homeowners looking to do more for birds on their property.

Land Acknowledgement

I live on stolen land once home to village sites of the Multnomah, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Bands of Chinook, Tualatin, Kalapuya, Molella, and many other tribes.
I also live on a gentrified plot of land in North Portland that is part of Albina, the center of Portland's African American population since the late 1900s.
It is because of the efforts of those before me I am able to care for plants and grow food on this land responsibly and with intention.

Harm-Reduction Capitalism

Capitalism isn't broken, it is keeping certain people from getting ahead just as intended.
In order to sustainably provide fresh, local produce free of charge to others, I have to participate in this system to financially support myself.
