Have you noticed that urban environments are becoming less and less green? Swelling populations and intense development are changing city landscapes. The result is rising food insecurity, environmental challenges, and social exclusion. But community gardens are emerging as powerful tools to address these issues. They improve food access, urban resilience, and community well-being. They also improve environmental health and biodiversity. Community gardens create stronger communities and ecosystems, improving air quality, reducing heat, and managing wastewater. 

Highland Wild is dedicated to creating and maintaining urban green spaces. Our projects -- like pollinator pockets, edible landscaping, green roofs, and community gardens -- are more critical than ever.

“The soil is the great connector of lives, the source and destination of all. It is the healer and restorer and resurrector, by which disease passes into health, age into youth, death into life. Without proper care for it we can have no community, because without proper care for it we can have no life.”  Wendell Berry, The Unsettling of America: Culture and Agriculture
