GFLP Guiding Principles:

Our team believes that individually and collectively, we can improve the health of our communities and our planet, and that improvement starts right in our own yards.

  • By making simple changes, such as choosing native over exotic plants and removing invasive plants, we can begin to restore habitat at home, at our businesses and throughout the region.

  • The Gardening for Life Project promotes resources, tools and organizations that help to make these changes possible. We invite you to explore our Learning Center.

  • Why Gardening for Life?
    By cultivating and protecting healthy diverse habitats, we are protecting all facets of life: life for pollinators, for wildlife, for healthy flora and fauna, for the individuals who live in and enjoy these spaces and for our community, as a whole.

Our Community Partners make this initiative possible!
