Gardens With Purpose
Group gardens need more than soil and plants—they require thoughtful design around who will use the space, how it will be used, and why it exists. These spaces often involve more than growing; they include volunteer organization, education, and long-term planning to ensure they thrive.

School & Community Gardens
School and community gardens are especially close to our hearts. They bring people together, foster learning, and create meaningful connections. Our role varies by project—we may design and build the garden, or simply lend our expertise in planning, volunteer coordination, grant writing, budgeting, and permitting. Whatever the need, we help transform vision into a thriving community space.
