BUILD COMMUNITY

Stronger Together

ON THIS PAGE: 

We believe caring for the earth starts with caring for each other. By opening our Urban Gardens to the community, we create safe spaces for people to learn, connect, and grow together.

Volunteering

We offer weekday and weekend volunteering events for community members curious about regenerative agriculture, interested in rethinking our food systems, or simply excited to spend time outdoors. It’s a great way to join a community of like-minded individuals who care deeply about the planet and each other.

Family Days

in the Garden

Monthly summer events for the whole family. Activities include meeting wriggly worms, discovering colorful pollinators & veggies, creating garden-inspired crafts, and experiencing our herb garden with all senses.

Creative Arts

We host a variety of art projects that blend creativity and science to inspire learning, along with our annual backyard concert in Niles that brings neighbors together through local music, shared food, and good vibes—all celebrating connection and community.

Wellness

Our mindfulness and growth programs invite the community to slow down, recharge, and connect with nature. We host yoga and meditation in the gardens, as well as personal development workshops for all ages. These gatherings nurture well-being and deepen our sense of connection to ourselves and the earth.

LEAF Community Garden Event Space Rental 

We offer event rentals for community gatherings, workshops, and celebrations, surrounded by vibrant planter beds that our members cultivate year-round. Host your next event in this inspiring outdoor setting.
