Food Not Lawns Charlotte
Community over Monoculture
Who We Are
We are part of the international movement! With this chapter located in Charlotte NC, we focus on native permaculture while enriching our communities.
What We Do
We collaborate and cultivate ourselves through skill sharing, mutual aid, and empathy.
Why We Do It
The more knowledgeable we are, the more we can help each other: sustainable food support, rejuvenating environmental impact, and fostering connection.
About Us
Food Not Lawns advocates for community resiliency. By utilizing the outdoor spaces of our homes, we grow food to share with our neighbors instead of the wasteful status symbol of grass.
We offer teach-ins, gardening projects, seed/plant/tool swaps, and meetups of camaraderie in the metro Charlotte area.
Follow us on BlueSky, Mastodon, and RSS for our events and updates. We also have a Linktree for additional bookmarks and various resources.
Land Acknowledgement
We are located on the land of the Catawba Nation. To learn more about where you live, visit Native-Land.ca.
About FNL
Food Not Lawns originally began in a neighborhood in Oregon almost 25 years ago. From then on, gardeners of all skill levels from all over the world have been transforming and sharing what they could grow.
