The Hort embeds nature into the fabric of everyday city life— in neighborhoods that need it most—by transforming otherwise “unplantable” urban spaces (like sidewalks, medians, traffic triangles, and even streets) into sustainable gardens. We engage residents to notice and connect with their green spaces; when communities enjoy their green spaces, they support and sustain them.

Beautiful greenspaces bring joy, fosters community pride and increases a property’s appeal. We design, build and maintain greenspaces and gardens that beautify buildings, developments, and neighborhoods with everything from planters to multi-acre gardens, to tree pits, raised beds and greenways.
We improve our city’s greenspaces and engage people with plants. The Hort’s programs are diverse, practical, therapeutic, and educational. We show that well-planned, equitable urban horticulture has the power to transform individuals, communities, and our environment.
