What Tadhg did is perfect… the project was step 1 so he’s coming back. Right now, only we can understand how great the dirt looks. Awesome this started local to Wicker Park! —Eva B.

Super wonderful idea. [I’m a] Senior here, and this is such a problem. Have looked each spring and fall for the last few years... —Kathleen W.

I love that there’s a native plant specialty, since it’s hard to find affordable landscapers who do and know natives. —Leah K.

About us

We're on a mission...

...to get more of the right plants in the ground. Doing so improves soil health and creates habitat for all creatures, especially invertebrates who play important ecological functions as pollinators and the base of the food chain but are increasingly threatened by our climate crisis. Ultimately, through gardener training, we hope to increase the number of “plant people” capable of nurturing Earth's ecosystems.
