Mission
Making sustainability accessible
Bari Applebaum designs edible landscapes that balance the functionality of plants and the beauty of the natural world. With each landscape that Bari creates, clients are equipped to reach both mental and physical health goals using materials grown in their own backyards. Through customizable services including landscape curation and implementation, gardening lessons, dietary education and wellness education, Bari Applebaum helps clients integrate natural living into their day-to-day practices.
But these gardens nourish in other ways, too.

Supporting our future
When clients hire Bari Applebaum, they support individuals with little access to affordable, sustainable living. A portion of the profits from client-facing work goes directly to Chicas Verdes, a student group and sustainability initiative that empowers young adults to grow their own food and connect with nature.
Bari teaches her students — and clients — the importance of healthy eating and advocating for their minds and bodies. Through both these young food activists and the growth of public access to sustainability resources, Bari hopes to improve community understanding of food systems and the environmental impact of our decisions.
Working to restructure food systems, combat climate change, and promote sustainable living, Bari Applebaum plants it forward.
Sustainable food system:
A collaborative network that integrates several components (ie. growing, harvesting, processing, packaging, disposal, etc.) in order to enhance a community's environmental, economic, and social well-being.
“With Bari’s help I feel more connected to nature in my apartment. She introduced greenery in a beautiful, inspiring and thoughtful way that makes me think and feel differently about my life and daily motivation. ”

My Promise
I only work with sustainable and ethically sourced materials. Everything I teach my clients is based on scientifically backed best practices that support healthy living and a healthy earth.
Agroecology:
Transforming and guiding a food system in its transition to sustainability. Shifting reliance away from unsustainable farming practices and participating in a locally sustained food system.
