Growing Together

Cultivating Change Through Community Gardens

The Urban Gardening Initiative is a small but global nonprofit connecting communities across cities and continents through the power of plants. What began as a local volunteer effort has flourished into a network of gardens spanning the U.S., Europe, and Africa — each one transforming unused urban spaces into living, growing centers of sustainability and community. From rooftop planters in Chicago to courtyard gardens in Berlin and teaching farms in Nairobi, we’re proving that growth knows no borders when people come together with shared purpose.
