OUR STORY
Urban Garden Project was founded by an avid seed collector and garden educator. Her passion for finding rare, collectable heirloom seeds led her to create a seed share project with fellow collectors and small-scale seed farmers.
During the pandemic, her seed collective donated thousands of packets of seeds and a vast array of gardening supplies to those turning to gardening for the first time. At a time when her community was unsure of the future, they found refuge in their growing gardens with Urban Garden Project guiding them every step of the way.
Urban Garden Project offers gardening classes, workshops, and lectures on a host of topics including patio and container gardening, heirloom seeds, seed saving, edible gardens, urban farming, companion gardening, and community garden management. We always welcome an invitation to speak at your garden club meeting, scout activity or home and garden show.
Charley also founded Urban Garden Plants, an organic nursery that offers rare seasonal heirloom plant varieties. Their mission is to be a resource of the most unique seedlings in the region. You may find their plants at home and garden shows, farmer's markets and fairs throughout South Texas.
With your help, we will continue our mission to make gardening accessible. We are committed to spreading the love of gardening to our community and beyond.
