Two experiments in growing community

City life keeps people busy and apart, and far from where their food comes from. An international, all-women design collective asked a simple question: can gardening bring people back to the present moment and to each other?

We tested it two ways:

Chive City
A board game about the joy and labour of urban farming
Steuben Community Garden
A live activation that turned a studio hallway into a shared green space

Both treat care not just as a value, but as a design method.
