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.
