At Jovial Concepts, our mission is to build vibrant, healthy communities where people are deeply connected to their food, culture, and neighbors. We do this by turning spaces into sustainable food forests and native green spaces. Through inclusive gardening and hands-on education, we create welcoming spaces—like our school garden programs—where everyone can learn, grow, and share. Ultimately, we bridge the gap between eating food and appreciating its power to nourish our bodies, minds, and community.
Jovial Concepts was founded in 2009 to involve communities, companies, organizations, schools and individuals in creating a sustainable world. Our first initiatives were simply helping other non-profits better complete their missions, until we grew into having core initiatives of our own. Jovial Concepts provides college and career support for over 40 middle and high school students, 10,000 sq ft of organic gardens as classrooms, a greenhouse program with seed to cafeteria education, $5,000 to inspire others to create more sustainable communities, and meals for over 250 families.
