in development · version 0.4

space&co. by happy sunday turns vacant lots, civic land, campuses, and underused spaces into greenhouse commons: maintained herb and tea gardens with weekly community programming, movement sessions, maker days, and local enterprise support.

what it is

the three parts of space&co.

01
herb + tea gardens
we begin with the land: herbs, tea plants where viable, pollinator beds, edible plantings, and simple garden infrastructure the community can use, learn from, and help maintain.
02
greenhouse commons
a shaded, open-air commons for tea, movement, workshops, small markets, and neighborhood programming.
03
practice + enterprise
happy sunday, respira, mmaadd, and softerbread can activate the site through guided movement, tea sessions, maker workshops, and small business support.

vacant land can become a greenhouse commons.

the birthright project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit seeking vacant, tax-delinquent, city-owned, and underused parcels that can become maintained herb and tea gardens with weekly community programming — a clean public-benefit use for land currently sitting idle.

have land or a parcel? send the address, parcel number, size, current status, and owner or land-bank contact. we'll review fit and follow up.

the tea garden

the tea garden.

the herb garden is not decoration — it's the first product, the first program, and the first reason to gather. space&co. grows and sources herbs for small-batch tea blends, sunday sessions, and community workshops.

sunday field tea
an everyday blend for sunday sessions, community tables, and take-home goods.
respira light tea
a light, airy blend paired with guided reset, sound, and movement.
greenhouse no. 1
a seasonal blend shaped by what the garden grows and what the community creates.

grown where possible. sourced responsibly where needed. blended locally.

the model

how the model works.

land → garden → commons → practice → enterprise → economic dignity

phase 1 · garden first
herb beds & sessions
secure land or a license, install herb beds and seating, host sunday tea + movement sessions, and begin neighborhood programming.
phase 2 · greenhouse commons
shade, water, storage
add greenhouse, shade, water, storage, a community table, and regular programming.
phase 3 · studio + maker layer
workshops & tools
add a modular studio, tea/product workshops, digital tools, maker sessions, and local enterprise support.
phase 4 · residency + replication
prove it, then travel
add deeper residencies only after the site proves demand and operations — then document the model so it can travel to other cities.

partnerships and sustainability.

partnerships

space&co. works with whoever holds the land — land banks, churches, nonprofits, municipalities, schools, developers, and private owners — to turn idle or underused property into maintained community infrastructure. the garden-first build is modular and phased, designed to prove value before heavy construction.

sustainability

the model is sustained through philanthropy, sponsorships, public contracts, tea and goods revenue, workshops, classes, markets, and paid programming that subsidizes community access.

start with one session

space&co. starts small: one session, one garden day, one wall, one workshop, one land partner. choose the path that fits.
