In 2020, amidst a global pandemic, a partnership blossomed in Long Beach. Lindsay Smith and Dina Feldman, driven by their shared commitment to community and sustainability, joined forces to create Sowing Seeds of Change (SSC). They transformed a forgotten city parking lot into a thriving urban farm, a testament to the power of vision and collaboration. Their combined passion for youth empowerment and sustainable agriculture has created a hub where young people cultivate skills, connect with the land, and grow a more equitable and sustainable future for Long Beach.
