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.

  • $12 could provide refreshments at a community garden helping people socialise and spend time gardening 
  • $37 could help provide prizes for refugees and internally displaced people taking part in our garden and cooking competitions 
  • $61 could help provide topsoil and compost in our community gardens enabling people to grow what they need 
  • $122 could help provide an LTT Camp Co-ordinator to help with distributing seeds, plants and trees to displaced people 
  • $1,219 could help create a new garden providing an area of green space where community members recovering from trauma can spend time tending a garden, planting seeds and re-connecting with nature 
  • $61,780 could help us set up a new community garden for people in need in a camp and help with on-going staffing and running costs 

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.
