We’re looking for new members!(See bottom of page)
The Laurel Manor is a housing cooperative in Santa Cruz. We are dedicated to gardening, living cooperatively, and helping aspiring gardeners in our community through grassroots workshops. Food Not Lawns chapters around the country are centered around community involvement in agricultural activism, from the simple symbolic act of tearing up your lawn (think resilience, self reliance, water usage), to swapping and saving seeds (think monsanto, barter, flowers:), we are exploring our relationship with the food we eat and the people we love.
We have a few rooms opening up at the Laurel Manor starting this summer, and wanted to put the word out to the community!
We have 4 rooms opening up, 1 for May 1st, 1 for June 1st, the other 2 for June 15th. The May room is a small single, rented for $525. The rooms available for June on are large rooms, and are avaialable as singles or doubles. Single occupancy rooms are $607/month, doubles are $743/month(for both people together).
BEFORE emailing us to inquire about the process, please thoroughly read our ‘Membership’ page(tab can be found at the top). This will illuminate the process, as well as clarify many of your questions. After that, take a look at these (FNL Questions) answer them in your own word doc copy, and mail them to laurelmanor1145@gmail.com.
Thanks, and look forward to talking with you soon!
