WISPY Greens
WISPY Greens focuses on experimenting with a solution to the need for more local food supply options. This is particularly important within an urban environment where land is more scarce than in the country. Growing produce in water, rather than soil, opens up the opportunity to create more diverse growing locations and to actually use less water than in traditional farming. Some researchers even see hydroponics as a potential answer to food deserts and to wastewater recycling. As in all our projects, we focus on empowerment through education.
In addition, WISPY is a source of funding for CCPLongmont.
TREE Project
TREE (Transforming Resources for Ecology and Equity) is a 10,300 sq ft combined residential and non- profit commercial project on the corner of 11th Avenue and Kimbark Street in Longmont, Colorado. TREE aims to be a demonstration site focused on advancing sustainability, mentorship and community well being. The project aspires to push the boundaries of sustainable technology with the integration of regenerative landscape systems, fossil-free building technologies, and innovative food-energy infrastructure. It provides residential spaces for folks transitioning into or out of independence coupled with community spaces and urban foods production.
A forward-looking mixed-use initiative, TREE aims to impact the Longmont community by demonstrating:
- regenerative design, clean energy, and urban agriculture integrated into a single development
- a replicable model for climate-conscious, community-centered development
- evidence that local resources can be transformed into opportunities for ecological resilience, economic opportunity, and social equity
RESILIENCY Project
The Resiliency Project focuses on building individual and community resilience while providing education on systemic permaculture as participants examine practices and patterns mimicking natural ecosystems. Education empowers; resilience is built while guiding participants towards meaningful action.
This project is a joint venture with Sustainable Resilient Longmont
SERENITY Garden
The Serenity Garden Project is an inclusive initiative that promotes ecological health, sustainability, and intergenerational knowledge sharing through permaculture design, with a special focus on engaging marginalized communities. The project aims to teach individuals of all ages the principles of permaculture, offering hands-on experiences in sustainable gardening, soil health, water conservation, and biodiversity.
The garden will implement eco-friendly techniques like companion planting, natural pest management, and rainwater harvesting, while offering workshops on composting, plant care, and seed saving.
By bridging the gap between elders’ traditional knowledge and younger generations’ enthusiasm, the project fosters a collaborative environment where diverse voices come together to learn and grow.
