~Maya Angelou

Our mission is to transform littered, vandalized vacant lots into robust and sustainable urban gardens.

Develop Hazelwood Community support,

Develop support external to Hazelwood Community,

Develop an urban garden where volunteers will work on leased lots,

Supervised gardening by the HUGS gardening committee,

Grow produce to be distributed to residents of Hazelwood,

Grow fresh produce for Hazelwood's residents,

Foster a sense of belonging and pride in the gardens,

Create a positive healthy outdoor gathering space in Hazelwood,

Create an opportunity for Hazelwood residents - young and old - to learn gardening, nutrition, and environmental stewardship skills.

The growth of urban gardens in Hazelwood will help reduce litter,
reduce graffiti and crime while growing pride in the community.

Volunteering with Hazelwood Urban Gardens is easy, fun and educational as well as gaining energy sharing the outdoors and sunshine with your neighbors. We are only asking that you make a commitment of a couple of hours each month during the growing season. Donations are also accepted.
