LET'S PLANT FREE FOOD EVERYWHERE

Imagine your life as it is now: same house, same job, same city. Now switch the palm trees to fruit trees and add blueberries to all the bushes. Swap a few flowers with herbs, turn lawns into vegetables and make all of it free for everyone.

Sound good? It's not just a dream. It's happening right now in San Diego and you can join the party.

WHAT DOES EAT SAN DIEGO DO?

We plant and maintain free food gardens in public spaces, like sidewalk planting strips and bus stops, so anyone can grab a snack for free. We also help others plant their own free food gardens.

WHY PLANT FREE FOOD?

Bus Stop 2.jpg

Fresh herbs by the sidewalk make the air smell sweeter. An orange tree by the bus stop makes your ride to work taste better. Sharing veggies with your neighbors makes the sidewalk more friendly.

Planting free food is an easy way to make life even better for everyone.

How?

It's simple. San Diego is already covered in beautiful, living landscaping. The infrastructure to keep our city green and growing is already there. All we have to do is swap in some free food and make life in America's finest city even finer.

This isn't as radical or new as it might sound. Free food landscaping is already successful worldwide.
