Meet Jonathan Propp, Member of the Board, Collective Roots

I discovered Collective Roots at a Community Impact project in 2002. I was impressed with the enthusiasm of the kids, the program's founder, and what they were trying to achieve in East Palo Alto. In 2005, I joined the board to help Collective Roots reach out to even more kids.

By day I work as a consultant in new product development, but after work you'll find me gardening (organically, of course!) in the backyard. I've been an organic gardener for over 20 years, going back to my first community garden plot in Washington, D.C. I believe Collective Roots is at the forefront of a growing movement to rethink our country's approach to farming, energy use, food quality, and children's health.

The garden is looking great, the bicycle blender is a blast, and the solar panels are coming. Come help us grow the future for our kids!
