With a rapidly growing chapter network of over 60+ chapters currently, TUGI works to teach students and the surrounding community about how to live greener and more sustainable lives. Learn more about our backstory and how we started as a youth-driven initiative in Wilmington, Delaware, and have now become an international for-youth, by-youth urban gardening movement.
Sustainable Fashion Panel
In November, TUGI was able to host an incredible sustainable fashion themed panel featuring organizations such as Zoelle Co, Sense of Shelf, Green Consumer Project, and others. During this event, we discuss how to get involved with sustainable fashion, what it is, what the future of the industry might look like, and more.
How-to Compost
Compost is organic material that can be added to soil to help plants grow. Food scraps and yard waste together currently make up more than 30 percent of what we throw away and could be composted instead. Making compost keeps these materials out of landfills where they take up space and release methane, a potent greenhouse gas (EPA).
The Urban Garden Initiative | Who We Are
The Urban Garden Initiative is an international 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that aims to empower and inspire youth to achieve urban sustainability through a gardening based program. With a rapidly growing chapter network of over 60+ chapters currently, we work to teach students and the surrounding community about how to live greener and more sustainable lives.
