Success Made to Last with Justin West of Thrive Lot- Agro Ecologist Talks about national movement to create gardens at your home

Justin West is one of the co-founders of Thrive Lot. He is committed to healing our hungry planet by developing sustainable, intentional, and productive garden projects. He has combined technology with agro-ecology in a one-of-a-kind business model that taps into the power of community expertise. In doing so, he has paved the way for a greener future – not with the obstructive and disruptive nature of asphalt, but with the natural and nutritive properties of soil.What is Thrive Lot?Thrive Lot is a tool for people who wish to support biodiversity in their homes and local communities by installing gardens that intentionally and carefully combine specific plants with unique landscape designs. We help develop gardens that combat soil erosion, chemical contamination, landscape degradation, and more. Thrive Lot connects customers to local experts and helps all team members effectively communicate throughout the implementation process.Where did the idea of Thrive Lot begin?When I was five years old, I started living on this old Amish farm. I had a huge garden, big fruit trees, and berry bushes, and I did a lot of canning and preserving. When I was 11, I got into 4-H wildlife judging, which involves looking at a property and making management recommendations to improve the wildlife populations. I actually competed nationally at 15 and won the national championship in urban ecological design, but then kind of forgot about it for a decade.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/success-made-to-last-legends--4302039/support.
