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 works with other community partners in the food, agriculture, and nutrition sectors as part of the Verde Valley Food Policy Council. We developed a comprehensive food policy and an action plan that promote strategies to create a sustainable, healthy, nutritious, and accessible local food system for all our residents and visitors to our region.

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 >>
