Founder, serving as Lead Cultivator
“Serving the soil, people, and purpose from the ground up.”

Josh is a steward of the garden in every sense of the word. He tends not only to soil and seed but also to the souls that pass through its gates. With over two decades of experience in agriculture, Josh has shifted his focus from growing food to cultivating people. He believes the garden is a sacred place where people are invited to become, where transformation is not forced, but gently cultivated.

As the Lead Cultivator of The Neighborhood Garden Project, Josh walks slowly and intentionally, creating space for others to reconnect with purpose, embrace their identity, and experience lasting change through the slow cultivation of trust, truth, and transformation. He sees the garden as more than a plot. It is a Kingdom embassy where heaven meets earth through hands in the soil and hearts made whole.

Josh is currently filling in as Garden Steward and Community Cultivator at the Barker Cypress location, continuing to embody the mission at ground level—staying close to the soil, the people, and the daily rhythms that anchor the entire movement.

He has seen too much in the soil to believe that speed produces depth. He’s convinced there is a slower, more formative way—a way that honors process over pressure and presence over performance.

Serving the soil, people, and purpose from the ground up, Josh lives and leads from below—anchored in surrender, marked by presence, and devoted to cultivating the unseen until it bears fruit.
