Who are GreenThumb gardeners?
GreenThumb gardeners are neighborhood volunteers interested in public safety, environmental quality, housing, and educational opportunities in their communities. They either live or work near the garden and cooperate to manage each site as a group. GreenThumb gardens are managed by community and block associations that are interested in working to improve their neighborhood through a complement of open space, affordable housing, and economic development opportunities. These gardens have a track record of community involvement and accomplishment; most offer consistent public programming aimed at improving quality of life for residents of all ages.
