Urban Roots has been sprouting a small yet significant movement as a growing contingent of Oakland “micro-farmers” who redefine urban farming. Our goal is making EarthBoxes the “iPod” of container gardening because few innovations as simple as these self watering containers address the issues of low-cost foods, saving the earth and workforce development.

All Ah We/All of Us
ArribaCycle is a collective of Latino parents from East Oakland who are involved with the the "Green Team" and other sustainability efforts at Korematsu Discovery Academy and Esperanza Elementary School. Their creative work was acclaimed by Univsion, who did an hour-long segment in June 2010 on the philosophy behind ArribaCycle's projects.
ArribCycle is a project of All Ah We/All of Us, a 501(c)(3) organization. Suzanne Ludlum is the Executive Director who has a long history of creating costumes and eco-friendly arts and crafts (a Maker at heart).
