Suburban Roots
Growing Connection, Community, and Local Abundance
From Concrete Jungle to Suburban Roots
When I moved from the city to the suburbs, I felt disconnected — from community, from neighbors, from the land around me. Over time, I started planting roots here — in my garden and in my community.
Today, Suburban Roots is a hub for grassroots projects that nurture connection, care, and local abundance. Whether it’s harvesting backyard fruit, sharing skills through our community time bank, or learning together, these projects are all about turning neighbors into friends and making sure no one is left out.
