strengthening the organizations that HELP community gardens thrive
The Urban Garden Project is a capacity-building organization
for the global community garden movement.
The Urban Garden Project is a growing global network of organizations, allies, and experts sharing knowledge, tools, and support
so every garden does more of what really matters — grow food and build community

OUR MISSION
Unite, uplift, and amplify the community garden movement.
why we exist
Millions of people are already growing food and community together. We're building the infrastructure to strengthen the movement behind them — through peer connection, shared learning, practical tools, and hands-on support.
This is not a gardening site.
We're pollinating a movement.

Having the UGP as the national peer learning space has been very helpful in my work with the City and County of Honolulu’s Recreational Community Gardening Program, particularly in connecting with similar agencies that have navigated areas that are uncharted for us.
UGP members have been generous with their advice on all things big and small, from conflict resolution and ideal employee-to-gardener ratios to funding opportunities and models for public-private partnerships.
