Paying it Forward

We're growing! After two successful seasons of A Year in the Urban Garden, we wanted to find an impactful way to give back! So many of you have cheered us on, and we are very thankful.

We've partnered with West Coast Seeds to offer two full tuition scholarships for the 2023 Season of A Year in the Urban Garden.

We have been so lucky to meet and connect with generous gardeners and growers over the years!

The garden community is one of generosity and growth (pun intended) and we are so excited to partner with West Coast Seeds to offer the 2023 West Coast Seeds x gardenelogie Scholarship.

A Year in the Urban Garden Master Class

In 2023, we will be selecting two recipients who will receive free enrollment in the 2023 season of A Year in the Urban Garden. They will be granted access to the course content as well as all the support resources. We encourage all eligible individuals to apply! Priority will be given to individuals in marginalized communities and gardeners active in their neighborhoods.
