DUG offers neighborhoods the essential resources for community gardens, including on-going technical expertise with: 

1. Securing sustainable land for gardens;
2. Designing and building gardens;
3. Supporting garden organization, leadership, outreach and maintenance;
4. Utilizing gardens as extraordinary places for learning and healthy living; and
5. Linking gardens with related local food system projects and policy.

Depending on the needs of the community, DUG can be involved every step of the way, including garden organization and leadership development, funding and fundraising, design and construction, education, and longterm garden support. Critical to our mission is the belief that we need to come alongside neighborhoods, in a support role, as they work to create their own urban community gardens. We seek to enable, unite and empower participants to reach out and build their community. Click here to learn more about DUG's role in a community garden.
