Gardens for Humanity’s mission is to develop and share our relationships with Humanity and Nature through gardening, art, and education.
Founded in 1996, Gardens for Humanity has worked for ecological education to help give our children and all members of our community the values, tools and experiences needed to seek and regain balance with the natural world. Our many Programs and Projects throughout the years have helped to enrich our Verde Valley area from personal wellness to schools and communities. Read more about what we do.

Gardens for Humanity acknowledges that we work and gather upon the ancestral homeland of the Yavapai-Apache Nation. We honor, with gratitude, the land itself and the Yavapai and Apache people who have lived here for millennia and who remain a vital part of this community today.
At this time when we must act to reverse the climate crisis, and ensure our health, a garden is one of the most effective solutions. A garden that both gives us healthy food and regenerates the Planet restores our health and hope. View our slideshow and resources >>
