Let’s Turn the Planet into a Vegetable Garden! 💚
Gardens4Good, a non-profit, began on the rooftop of a nursing home in Paris, France, where our founder volunteered to help elderly residents with Alzheimer’s start their own vegetable garden. The garden brought them food, healing and joy, inspiring visitors who asked how they, too, could grow their own food. That’s how we embarked on a global mission to share gardening content, empowering people everywhere to turn spaces—big or small—into thriving vegetable gardens. Join us in transforming our world into a happy, abundant, sustainable food garden for all!
