Join us as Joseph Simcox shares the future of food—going back to the foodways of people's past to show the way ahead for the future. 
"I am dedicated to sharing my experience of the vast diversity of the plant world with as many people as possible. The future of mankind is inextricably linked to us developing a symbiotic relationship with plants and nature."
                – Joseph Simcox
Joseph Simcox is a World Food Plant Ecologist and Ethnobotanist.

As a Botanical Explorer, he travels the globe to identify the world’s food plant resources, focusing on underutilized crops and wild species.

The basis of his work is to promote the use and cultivation of plants for food and useful components. The harmonious balance between modern man’s infrastructures and nature is necessary if man is to continue to prosper on the planet.

His goal is to ensure food security and nutrition for all while developing food systems that mimic nature. Joseph asserts that the identification of wild food plants and their appropriate habitats is the first step to creating sustainable ecosystems.

The Birdhouse is a gathering place in the foothills of Hollywood’s Beachwood Canyon dedicated to addressing the question:  What will it take to live the life that the Planet Earth now demands?

Our intention is to provide a space where curious, open-minded agents of change can learn, explore, and share our vision to promote the arts, well-being, learning, and transformation.

We operate an urban farm and a workshop space to host participatory design events, demonstration projects, for sharing skills and training. We anticipate the completion of a popup kitchen and garden amphitheater by early 2017.
