The Lavender Project is more than an initiative—it’s a movement. It stands as a bold declaration of visibility, love, and radical reclamation for Black and/or BIPOC female and nonbinary queer farmers, growers, and food justice workers. Through large-scale public murals, storytelling, and digital archives, we are amplifying the voices of those who have long been erased from agricultural history. Each mural serves as a permanent marker of their labor, wisdom, and impact—linking past, present, and future generations in a shared fight for recognition and justice.

Lavender itself carries deep meaning. Once weaponized against the queer community during the 1950s Lavender Scare, it was later reclaimed as a symbol of survival, defiance, and resilience. The Lavender Project channels that same energy—refusing to be erased, demanding visibility, and ensuring Black and queer farmers are seen.

Rooted in urban farming, artistic activism, and community collaboration, The Lavender Project is about bridging communities, creating lasting connections, and fostering deep healing—one lavender plant at a time. We are reclaiming space in agriculture, redefining narratives, and planting seeds that will grow for generations to come.
