Lettuce Grow
Founded by actress Zooey Deschanel and co-parent Jacob Pechenik, Lettuce Grow aims to reduce food waste by promoting healthy and sustainable alternatives for growing fresh, clean and unprocessed food regardless of space, time, knowledge, income or experience.
The SCA is excited to announce we will be joining the Lettuce Grow mission in 2022 as a nominee in their Farmstand program. Beginning in January 2022, the SCA will be welcoming it’s very own display of vertical garden Farmstands to begin nourishing our community from the ground up. The Farmstand is made from recycled ocean plastics and is a self-watering and self-fertilizing planter that makes it easy to grow your own food in your own home…or gallery. The SCA will be maintaining these uniquely designed vertical gardens in our gallery throughout the year and utilizing it as a catalyst to promote educational programming around sustainable growing practices. Throughout the course of the exhibitions, the SCA will be collaborating with local chefs utilizing the food grown in our Farmstands to create edible art! At the end of year, the SCA will be donating the Farmstands to local organizations to continue investing and promoting sustainably grown fresh, clean food.
