Ryan Blass, 31, has started a new initiative in downtown Sarasota in an effort to aid the homeless population. Garden of Eden Project aims to provide cold water and organic food to those in need. This, however, is only the first step of the plan. Ryan and his team are currently looking for land near the downtown area to cultivate fresh fruits and vegetables.
