We want to inspire a (horti)cultural renaissance of the public commons.
Our charge is simple: through collaboration and partnership, we renew urban life by cultivating nature. We imagine future cities as greener, healthier, and resourceful. We imagine the city as a garden made possible from the marriage of resilient design and dynamic stewardship. We want to normalize wildness alongside modern, everyday life.
