We bring plants into the places where daily life happens, especially in neighborhoods with the least access to green space. We turn “unplantable” urban spaces—sidewalks, medians, traffic triangles, and streets—into gardens and plantings that last. We engage communities through learning, wellness, and paid work so the benefits of plants are more accessible to New Yorkers across our city.
We have something for everyone. From cooking classes to gardening techniques, from art making to soil science, you can explore your curiosities and feed your intellect. Come to a Hort event and find a community that shares your love of plants.
