In this episode of Insight City, Evan Bronstein, Design Principal at Jacobs, sits down with Matt Schindler, CEO of Seed St. Louis—a nonprofit working to grow healthier, more connected communities through urban agriculture. Matt shares how Seed St. Louis transforms vacant lots into thriving gardens, supports local growers, and inspires people—especially children—to discover the power of growing their own food. Their conversation touches on the role of design and collaboration in creating community spaces, fostering curiosity, education, food justice, and how reconnecting with the land can help build a stronger, more resilient St. Louis.

Insight City: The city is talking. Are we listening? Insight City provides a space for dialogue with thought leaders, innovators, and community builders from St. Louis and beyond, exploring urban development, innovation, and the keys to creating a thriving urban core. Tune in weekly with your host John Berglund, an architect, developer and author, for insightful conversation at The Post Building in the Downtown North Insight District of St. Louis.
