About this event

  • Event lasts 3 hours

    In partnership with Blue Sky LA, we are looking for 50-60 volunteers to aid in the new mounting of soil for the food production beds.

    Please join the EJP Committee on Saturday, June 29th as we officially break ground on our 2024 Project, the RootDown LA KitchenPod! We look forward to getting our hands dirty as our awardee team’s brilliant vision comes to life- a fully mobile, passively cooled structure with solar-powered refrigeration to house the George Washington Carver Middle School garden’s culinary programming.


    Things are starting to heat up for the summer, so we will be getting started bright and early at 9 AM. In addition to starting on construction of the KitchenPod, we will be prepping new raised beds for the expanding vegetable garden. Come prepared with close-toed shoes, sunscreen, and your reusable water bottle- tools and snacks will be provided. Please check out our community hub page or contact Katie (katie@leconsultants.net) to learn more about the project.
