SEED stands for Sowing, Empowering, and Eliminating Food Deserts. This initiative is bringing community gardening to Milwaukee's most under served areas.
Sowing, Empowering, and Eliminating Food Desserts (SEED) initiative is a resolution passed by the Milwaukee County government to provide funding to create one million square feet of new community garden space in 2016. The goal is to educate, empower and equip Milwaukee County residents to successfully receive access to healthy food in their communities.

The holiday spirit swept 30+ Clarke Square residents and children from Journey House to a Christmas tree farm in the countryside of Grafton with over 10,000 trees. The lively group selected a grand tree to light up Clarke Square and 4 lucky families were chosen to receive free holiday trees to decorate their homes. Only 1 of the residents had previously visited a Christmas tree farm in their lives.
