About

HomeGrown Culver City, a free event celebrating food, sustainable gardening and an ecological lifestyle will be held on Oct 23rd 2010 at Media Park, Culver City. It is the first event of its kind in Culver City and our goal is to have it become an annual event that influences the community to embrace sustainable practices. We are proud to have sponsorship from Sony Pictures, Topson Downs and Beyond Shelter in partnership with The City of Culver City. The event is 100% volunteer organized and all profits from this event will benefit the outstanding work of Beyond Shelter, a nonprofit organization helping homeless families with children move into permanent housing and then providing services to help them rebuild their lives.

HomeGrown is an event that celebrates backyard edible gardening, designed by, and for, people that want to get to know their food sources from seed to plate. HomeGrown will unite people and organizations dedicated to teaching and fostering organic gardening in an effort to strengthen the local community of urban farmers. HomeGrown will offer exposure and access to those interested in getting involved in the organic gardening movement by presenting free, hands-on workshops dedicated to the various disciplines of backyard farming.

We will also have food vendors from Culver City, performances, workshops and vendors who provide ecological goods & services. Free workshops and demonstrations will be scheduled throughout the day. Live entertainment will include local musicians and fun for the kids—including a performance by a local children’s theater. The event will also include vendors serving delicious foods made with local ingredients. Free parking is easily accessible at the public lots in Culver City. An attendance of approximately 2-3k people is expected throughout the day.

We are exited to have you partner with us to put on a great event for the community. We invite you to have a vendor booth at the event. Feel free to contact John Lyons, Event Director, if you have questions.

The HomeGrown Culver City is a free event, but attendees are encouraged to bring canned and/or packaged healthy food, as well as new children’s winter clothing items: jackets, sweatshirts or pajamas.

All profits from HomeGrown Culver City will benefit the outstanding work of Beyond Shelter, a nonprofit organization helping homeless families with children move into permanent housing and then providing services to help them rebuild their lives.
