🌿 Gardenscapes

Gardenscapes

Full-service garden transformation for blocks, lots, and shared spaces.

Propose a Project Volunteer

Gardenscapes is our full-service garden design and activation program. We help resident-led groups transform neglected or underused shared spaces into gardens, gathering places, and neighborhood landmarks.

From the first site assessment to the first harvest, Gardenscapes supports neighbors who want to reclaim their corners — with planning, design, tools, workdays, and ongoing stewardship support.

How It Works

From idea to garden in four steps.

01

Site Assessment

We evaluate the space, soil, sunlight, and neighborhood interest to determine what's possible and what will thrive.

02

Garden Design

Working with the group, we design a garden layout that fits the space, the neighborhood, and the long-term stewardship plan.

03

Community Build

Coordinated workdays where neighbors build the garden together — raised beds, perennial plantings, paths, gathering areas.

04

Ongoing Stewardship

Tool library access, seasonal workdays, and stewardship resources to keep the garden alive and growing for years to come.

📐

Site Assessment & Planning

Professional evaluation of soil, drainage, sunlight, and space — plus a written plan for what to plant, where, and how to maintain it.

🎨

Design & Layout

Raised beds, perennial plantings, gathering spaces, paths, and seating areas designed to reflect the neighborhood's character and needs.

🤝

Community Engagement

We help neighbor groups build momentum, recruit volunteers, and coordinate workdays that bring the whole block together.

🛠️

Tool Library & Support

Access to the tools and knowledge needed to maintain the space year after year — no purchase required.

🏡

Pathways to Ownership

For groups ready to take on long-term stewardship, we help develop ownership or co-stewardship models that keep the garden in the neighborhood.
