Renewing our region's culture of backyard gardening
Our Mission
A Garden In Every Lot is all about renewing our community’s culture of backyard gardening. We help both individual community members and community organizations overcome barriers to starting a garden. We accomplish this by offering garden site assessment & preparation, tilling, seeds, plant starts, mulch, and by helping community members work with local landlords and governmental bodies.
In concert with our community partners, we help coordinate gardening-focused educational programs and community-building events.

"I have always wanted to grow some of my own food, but I was nervous about planting anything since my neighborhood is full of squirrels, who dig up everything in my yard, and rabbits, who eat anything new in my yard.
The 'A Garden In Every Lot' program helped me get started, which was huge. I relayed my concerns about the critters and after they tilled my garden area, they gave me a chicken wire fence to put around it. They even gave me some starter plants! I am so grateful to this program and plan to plant even more next summer."
