gardeners without borders
Plant a seed. Grow your hustle.
Gardeners Without Borders is a youth-centered, 6-month initiative designed to cultivate leadership, sustainability, and entrepreneurship through the transformative power of gardening. Inspired by the idea that gardening knows no boundaries— social, economic, or geographic —this program positions gardening as a tool for self-reliance, healing, and community-building.
In the classroom youth participants will learn about food systems, sustainability and entreprenuership. In the garden, they will learn to grow food, flowers, and herbs. At the Lansdowne Farmers Market, they will combine those skills to run their own farmstand this summer and fall.
