How can I help?
Milwaukee Urban Gardens is a non-profit, membership organization that strives to protect open space in Milwaukee for community gardens - enhancing the quality of life for Milwaukeeans today and for future generations.
Why are community gardens in jeopardy?
Community gardens are in the tenuous position of being held under short-term leases by their respective property owners. Gardens developed on leased property are almost always temporary, as the pressure from urban development becomes too strong to withstand. Help us create a greener and brighter future for Milwaukee!
You financial gift to Milwaukee Urban Gardens helps support our mission to:
- Protect existing community gardens from budget cuts and development projects
- Develop vacant lots into community gardens and green space
- Build partnerships with residents and neighbors of community gardens
- Create opportunities for Milwaukee residents to share gardening skills
We need your ongoing support to help MUG expand and continue to cultivate healthy communities and beautiful neighborhoods. Please consider a tax-deductible gift to increase our capacity to protect and develop community green space in Milwaukee.
