We empower our community through nature – creating inclusive green spaces that nurture people, protect the environment, and strengthen food access and resilience in Pilsen and beyond.

We maintain over an acre of land with the invaluable support of volunteers and donations. Our community-managed greenspace is protected by the non-profit community land trust, NeighborSpace.

Our garden, developed on a reclaimed brownfield, features a native prairie, permaculture food forest, private senior garden beds, collective raised beds, and an apiary. Looking ahead, we envision expanding by half an acre, adding a dog run, nature play area, community stage, fitness zone, and more gathering spaces to enhance our offerings.

As we grow, we aim to develop into a social enterprise that advocates for green space and extends our impact beyond the garden. Our vision is to provide resources and support for the broader community, ensuring that the benefits of green space, environmental education, and community empowerment are accessible to all.
