Our mission is to inspire, support and collaborate with people who have been forcibly displaced from their homes, to create community and opportunity through gardening.
With your support we can bring beauty, dignity and opportunity to communities left ravaged by the effects of war. Every donation we receive directly supports gardening projects and initiatives in refugee and internally displaced people communities.
🍋 $67 (USD) could supply seeds, tools and compost, helping individuals and families grow fresh, healthy food in our community gardens.
🌿 $135 (USD) could help us employ a displaced person as a Garden Co-ordinator, distributing seeds, tools and plants to families in refugee and IDP camps.
🍋 $675 (USD) could support the distribution of trees, plants, seedlings and seeds, helping to green multiple refugee and IDP camps with shade and beauty.
🌿 $1,350 (USD) could support our annual gardening and cooking competitions – joyful community events that bring people together through the food and flowers they’ve grown in their own home gardens.
🍋 $6,750 (USD) could help create a healing community garden – a peaceful, restorative space where people recovering from trauma can grow food and flowers, connect with others and begin to rebuild their lives.
🌿 $67,520 (USD) could fund the development of a large-scale, fully equipped community garden in a refugee or IDP camp, including permanent infrastructure, trained staff (including displaced persons), tools, trees, seeds and essential running costs like electricity, water and maintenance. This creates a sustainable, long term green sanctuary that supports hundreds of people, builds food security and strengthens community resilience on a wide scale.
We are working to achieve a world in which every person who has been forcibly displaced has access to a garden and has the means and knowledge to grow.
