Louisville Grows Inc Information

Louisville Grows, founded in 2009, is an environmental 501(c)3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to Grow Greener, Healthier Neighborhoods. Our vision is to foster green, just and sustainable neighborhoods in Louisville. Louisville Grows works in solidarity with community residents to create a more just and sustainable community through urban agriculture, urban forestry, and environmental education. Social justice is a key component of all Louisville Grows work in the community and we strive to ensure the fair treatment of all races, ethnicities, and socioeconomic groups, and our programs support disproportionately affected neighborhoods in Louisville’s urban core. We work with communities throughout Louisville to identify and meet neighborhood needs, such as increasing the urban tree canopy, providing resources to establish, manage and sustain community gardens and orchards, and managing regular citizen volunteer training and environmental educational workshops.
