update on The Plot Garden Project
“to plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.” - Audrey Hepburn
HAPPY EARTH DAY!
to celebrate we would love to share an update on The Plot Garden Project.
TPGP is our nonprofit urban garden and food lab in south oceanside. we’re building spaces that connect people to food, soil, and each other, while making sustainable, nourishing food more accessible to our community.
right now, we’re turning that vision into something you can actually see, walk through, and be a part of. check out the pics below or come by and say hi in person!
PROJECT UPDATES:
project one: south o’ alleyway garden -- ALMOST DONE!
what used to be a cracked concrete dumpster area is almost unrecognizable. we’re transforming it into a small urban oasis, complete with raised beds, wood chip pathways, and a living, breathing perimeter.
project two: tremont street garden -- EPIC PROGRESS
this one is big and we’ve made HUGE strides 🌱
we’re transforming a long, underutilized stretch along tremont street into a community lane garden, a space designed to be seen, shared, and experienced.
WANT TO HEAR SOMETHING RAD??!! the tremont street garden will be available to all! community members can stop by the garden and harvest fresh produce for their home cooked meals! what we are growing and tips for harvesting will be on our website, stay tuned!
thank you so much for your support in this effort. and very big thanks to our donors and Waste Management for the 15 yards of soil and your commitment to The Plot Garden Project.
Check us out to learn more volunteer, and donate. >> https://lnkd.in/gCbkgzu2
PESTO CAMPANELLE
With pea + sorrel pesto, burrata, snap peas, and umami balsamico. It’s brand new to our spring dinner menu and we just can’t seem to get enough! Have you tried it yet?!
Toilet gardens are the shit 😎🚽🌱
Chef Davin Waite has been wanting to do this for a while. The top tank waters the bottom, the soil does its thing, and suddenly… a garden is growing.
Proof that with a little creativity (and your hands), you can make something out of anything… and you can grow food anywhere. Even here. The Plot Garden Project 🌱
nom nom, cheers 🐰🥕🥂

🍀 St. Patrick’s Day at The Plot!
Tonight! A St. Paddy’s plate we’re pretty fired up about, courtesy of Chef Davin Waite.
Irish soda bread, our house corned “beef” roast made with tofu & barley, beet-brined potatoes, braised cabbage and rich Guinness gravy tying it all together.
It’s savory, it’s comforting, and it’s available today, in restaurant, until 9pm.
Feeling lucky? Come grab a plate. We can’t wait for you to try.
Okinawan sweet potato gnocchi 🍠
Handmade, seasonal, and so dang satisfying. Right now it’s featured with pumpkin bolognese, crispy lentil & wild rice saüsage, red bell pepper, burnt herb oil — and finished with herbs grown right here in our garden. @theplotgardenproject
It’s savory, it’s comforting, and it’s the kind of meal you think about the next day. One of our favorites for a reason, and always keeps us coming back for more. 🌱
Our new tasting menu is live!
Built around revitalizing plants and Lunar New Year traditions of abundance — clay pot influences, French technique, nutrient-dense ingredients, greens from our garden and bold flavors that feel as good as they taste.
This one carries inspiration from our recent collab with 24 Sun, and our friends at Little Fox right down the street… and it’s layered with culture, connection, and a synergistic energy that stays with you long after the last bite.
Come celebrate the health of our community and the creativity of our friends with us! Available 7 nights a week. >>https://lnkd.in/gm34SjAc

love day 💕
There’s nothing we love more than feeding you. 🌱❤️
Bringing people together around a table, sharing stories, passing plates, slowing down long enough to connect — that’s why we do this. Over Valentine's weekend we shared a special tasting menu crafted with intention from our kitchen and our chefs, each course designed to nourish, delight and bring people closer.
Thank you for spending the evening with us. It means so much to gather in this space with you.
Our new dinner tasting menu is rolling out soon and we can’t wait to share what we’ve been creating. Stay tuned…
