#UrbanFarmReport, featuring Sean Petersen of The Green Urban Lunch Box, which seeks apprentices for the expansion of its Back-Farms program.

  • Back-Farms utilizes volunteers to build, cultivate, and maintain organic gardens in senior citizens backyards at no cost to the senior. Every garden is assigned a "Garden Apprentice"; a volunteer who, while caring for the garden, is learning how to garden from one of our expert garden staff. The garden apprenticeship is for the entire growing season.
  • GULB now offers home vegetable garden consultations. Turn your brown thumb green and, in turn, directly sponsor a garden for a local senior citizen at their home while receiving expert advice about your own garden. Click here for details.
