Edible Landscape Initiative
Edible Landscape Initiative
Help ELI purchase a truck, help transform Flagstaff into a healthier and more beautiful city!
The Edible Landscape Initiative (ELI) is focused on transforming ourcommunities into edible urban ecosystems while enhancing our visual environment. Utilizing locally available resources, we will begin the process of facilitating the revitalization of our local food systems by creating pockets of nourishment and beauty in underserved areas throughout our city.
This summer we will be working on developing three community gardens in Flagstaff, building earthen bread ovens and other natural building projects, solar greenhouses, and much more. We are integrating the aesthetics of public art and culture into food projects to hybridize production with beauty.
The Edible Landscape Initiative needs a truck!
The truck will be owned and operated collectively by the ELI. It will
be used for hauling supplies, transporting youth from garden projects,
holding tools, and also for mobility within the larger Bioregional
Lifeways Network sites of Kykotsmovi, Pinyon, and Hardrock.
