REFUGEE GARDEN INITIATIVES
RGI is an independent, refugee-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Guided by lived experience, we use farming, education, research, and storytelling to build more inclusive food systems where culturally meaningful foods are recognized as essential to health, dignity, and belonging. Our work includes Healing & Vertical Food Gardens, community outreach, demonstration farming, partnerships, advocacy, and public engagement.
“To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.”
Audrey Hepburn
