Our Sustainable Boot Camp Immersion Experiences requires on-site participation at our nonprofit headquarters located in Sarasota, Florida. Participation in this program is FREE of charge and requires a personal commitment by the attendee for a predefined period of days or weeks to live and work at the Sustainable Living Academy premises. We offer 3 programs of sustainable living immersion to match the participant’s background and desired experience.

Sustainable Living Academy - Community Gardens Program - Non-Profit

Community Gardens Program

Our Community Gardens program provides the resources, manpower and oversight to establish gardens throughout the community. Local residents are organized to participate in the garden project while learning everything they may need to build, plant, harvest and maintain the garden with as a community. These gardens provide greater access to fresh fruits and vegetables for local families while nurturing sustainable responsibility. In order to give access to as many people as possible, this program can be replicated for as long as space is made available to set up new gardens. To facilitate garden planning, Sustainable Living Academy works with neighborhood residents to determine the best locations and then works with local and municipal agencies to gain rights to access the property. This program includes the creation of gardens that provide access to children in K-12 schools and those with special needs such as the disabled and elderly. read more
