Get to know us
Urban Green Project was created in 2022 by a plant scientist and a marketing and gardening specialist. Our love of plants and deep ties to our community drove an idea that we could create outdoor spaces complete with agriculture, horticulture, education and community. We first partnered with Ripon, California's Garden Joy, a successful community garden program. Through that partnership and participating in their seasonal farmers market, we saw the impact they have on their community through this space. In 2023, we received our 501(c)(3) non-profit status, and began building garden spaces and educational programs.
In 2025, we will begin a project in our hometown that is very close to our hearts. We'll keep you updated as that project progresses!
Our Mission
We're on a mission to create beautiful functioning community spaces with sustainable capabilities and ties to educational opportunities and city programs. We plan to utilize each new space created to it's full capacity, celebrating community, growing edible items year-round and providing diverse educational opportunities from background growing to sustainable agricultural research.
Our Vision
We want to live in a world where people can access fresh food all the time. Our vision is to create community gardens that function as educational and research hubs, community driven spaces and a place to grow food locally. We hope to connect each garden with a market to sell fresh goods in that area, supporting local farmers and businesses and providing a full circle connection to resturaunts, consumers and sustainable agriculture.
