NOLA Green Roots - Building Sustainable Communities Through Gardens, New Orleans, Louisiana

Our Mission

"Building Sustainable Communities Through Gardens"

How?

NOLA Green Roots facilitates garden training for hundreds of participants. By developing community gardens, we teach youth, low-income residents, and senior citizens how to grow fresh fruits and vegetables at a low cost. Our community gardens provide access to fresh produce and plants as well as lessons on satisfying labor needs, improving neighborhoods, building a sense of community, and connecting to the environment.

NOLA Green Roots is now a proud member of the US Composting Council.
