ABOUT DEMI
I am an ecological restoration educator, budding hydroponicist, and aspiring front-end developer. I joined The Urban Wild's Intro to AgTech to learn how to grow food for my community and to learn how to use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. While I work with plants most days, I’ve never been too successful growing them on my own, and especially not those I could eat. I love to cook and look forward to being able to make food with ingredients I grew myself. I’m passionate about supporting creative responses to the climate crisis and food insecurity and I hope to support others in their home growing ventures.
