The Urban Garden Project is being built as the national backbone organization for the global community gardens movement, creating the infrastructure, coordination, data systems, and capital pathways needed to scale and thrive.
This means:
→ A national platform to connect and strengthen organizations
→ A standardized well-being index to measure impact
→ A comprehensive community garden database
→ A coordinated, aligned-action network across the country
This is not a pilot.
This is the intentional scaling of one of the most effective and overlooked solutions we already have.
