Local First Arizona opens Heart and Soil People’s Garden
April 7
Local First Arizona just opened a Garden Education Center at Heart and Soil People’s Garden. This comes thanks to a $1 million investment from The Bob and Renee Parsons Foundation.
Heart and Soil People’s Garden began in 2022 as a donated vacant lot in the heart of South Phoenix, a neighborhood long defined by limited access to fresh, affordable food.
Founders transformed that empty corner into a women-led urban farm that could nourish both bodies and community. Today, Heart and Soil is cultivated by 12 active women growers and produces more than 14,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables annually.
Kimber Lanning from Local First Arizona joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss more.
