Through our Soil2Soul Education Program, we work on food sustainability.

East Capitol Urban Farm

Gardening classes are taught for DC residents. An array of classes will teach residents how to grow and sustain their harvest, cooking techniques and food preservation methods. East Capitol Urban Farm also includes gardening beds for Ward 7 residents.

This spacious garden located at 5901 East Capitol Street, NE, directly across the street from the Capital Heights Metro Station, was once a vacant lot in Ward 7 of the District of Columbia.

Sharing Seed Distribution

Roots for Life provides fruit, vegetables and companion plant seeds to local school and community gardens and growing enthusiasts so that they can produce their own food and increase their nutrition and food security.
