COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT & OUTREACH
The Garden’s mission is to create experiences with plants that inspire people and improve the world. While many of these experiences happen at the Garden, others take shape in the community, often where the need for green space is greatest. In collaboration with nonprofit partners and residents, the Garden advances climate related urban greening initiatives within local communities, promotes environmental justice, and creates opportunities for people to connect with nature and learn about the essential role plants play in our lives.
COMMUNITY GREENING
We believe that access to nature and green space is a human right. Led by our Horticulture Outreach Team, community greening efforts address issues of environmental justice and put plant-based solutions to climate change into action.
COMMUNITY EDUCATION
Creating meaningful, accessible learning experiences starts with community partnerships. Our educational programs, built in collaboration with area educators and youth-serving organizations, connect young people with plants and inspire lifelong environmental appreciation.
