When most people think of agriculture, the first images that come to mind may be rolling hills, rows of crops or grazing livestock. The trademarks of urban areas—like rush-hour traffic, towering skyscrapers and miles of concrete—don’t necessarily sync up with that. Yet more recently, urban gardens and farms (a.k.a. urban agriculture) are on the rise. In addition to letting people grow the fresh fruits and vegetables they need to live, urban gardens have come to light as a way to improve people’s access to nature. | When most people think of agriculture, the first images that come to mind may be rolling hills, rows of crops or grazing livestock.

Urban Sprouts was established in 2004 on the research-proven foundation that beautiful and safe outdoor environments are the best conduits for healthy, economically thriving communities. We leverage our gardens as culturally responsive, interactive classrooms; welcoming places for meditation and physical activity; sources of fresh, nutritious food and as incubators for a 21st-century workforce that understands the importance of social justice and climate resilience. | |||
