Gravity Garden in Oakland, California
Cameron Preston, an Oakland-based engineer, designer, and forager, has always had passion for the earth and the bounty it provides. Inspired to empower others in urban gardening and zero-waste, Cameron and his partner, Aarthi, have transformed an overgrown public space into a community garden, set with a public pantry, vermicompost, gravitational drip system, and sitting area. The garden is located at 2511 7th Street. To learn more or to volunteer, please email cameron@oakra.org.
