Neighbors are doing this block by block — turning vacant lots into gardens and gathering places. This lot is one small square of that idea: Urbs in Horto, a city in a garden, recycled one parcel at a time.

If an underappreciated and underutilized parcel of land can be transformed into a community asset, what other “waste” can be transformed into value. We are taking some clues from the Rebuild Foundation and BuggyGirl Enterprises — a coming exhibition where designers and makers turn cast-off materials into things of beauty and use.

Garments built entirely from recycled and salvaged materials walk a runway set in the garden — proof that what we throw away sometimes has 9+ more lives to live.

Every prairie — and every exhibition — starts with someone who sees a garden in empty ground.

A garden survives on the hands that tend it. Every trained steward is one more neighbor who can read the lot, plant a plug, save a seed — and teach the next person. That is how a vacant lot stays a living one.

Sessions run through the growing season. Sign up and we’ll tell you when the next one opens.
