Adopt A DUG Garden

What is garden adoption?

When you adopt a DUG garden, you’re investing in a precious community resource by ensuring one (or more) of our community gardens has the necessary physical and human resources to thrive. Garden adoption also comes with some great perks for you and your business, too!

What are the benefits?

• A meaningful way to give back through active philanthropy that goes beyond just writing a check.
• “Adopted by” sign with your company’s logo on the garden fence on or near the entrance, providing high-value exposure to a highly engaged community in close proximity to your business.
• One team-building workday per year and in-garden opportunities for team members to invest in their health and work shoulder to shoulder and in partnership with their neighbors.
  • Workdays may or may not be at the adopted garden, depending on season and need.
• Access to a private gardening workshop for your team with adoption of five or more gardens. 

What are the Responsibilities?

• Ongoing stewardship of the garden in partnership with the Garden Leadership to ensure the garden community is maintained and thriving.
• Promotion of your partnership with DUG at your business to provide exposure and awareness for DUG beyond the garden itself–we’ve got you covered with signage, stickers, and brochures!
