About Me:
I am the founder of UrbanLab, an incubator for social innovation and civic engagement. I have been a community steward in Metro Phoenix since 1990. UrbanLab partners include Mountain Park Health Clinic, Valley View Elementary and Roosevelt School District, Carver Museum and Cultural Center, St. Luke's Health Initiative, and Asian Pacific Community in Action. Besides learning about best practices in community gardening, I want my partners to experiment with cultural foods. My first challenge is learning to grow peanuts in Central Phoenix since Carver Museum wants to include this perennial in their edible landscape design plan given George Washington Carver's legacy with peanuts!
