GJLI engages community members, develops partnerships with nonprofit and community-based organizations, and fosters relationships between community gardeners and municipal authorities to help foster a movement in Philadelphia to support food access and positive vacant land policies. We aim to give communities greater control over the future of their neighborhoods. Grounded in Philly is one of the awesome ways we’re reaching that goal.

  • <http://phila.gov/green/> The Office of Sustainability (OOS) works with partners around the City to improve quality of life in all Philadelphia neighborhoods, reduce the City’s carbon emissions, and prepare Philadelphia for a hotter, wetter future. OOS is responsible for implementing Greenworks Philadelphia, the City’s comprehensive sustainability plan, which is made up of eight visions:
    • Accessible food and drinking water
    • Healthy outdoor and indoor air
    • Clean and efficient energy
    • Climate-prepared and carbon-neutral communities
    • Quality natural resources
    • Accessible, affordable, and safe transportation
    • Zero Waste
    • Engaged students, stewards, and workers
  • <http://www.blackurbangrowers.org>
  • <http://ngtrust.org/> The Neighborhood Gardens Trust (NGT) is Philadelphia’s largest land trust. We are dedicated to preserving and supporting community gardens and other shared open spaces across the city. NGT’s work is grounded in the belief that an equitable and sustainable city is one in which all neighborhoods have vibrant green spaces for residents to cultivate food, flowers, and community.

NGT works with self-organized gardeners, community organizations, property owners, and the City of Philadelphia to secure ownership or long-term leases for community-managed open spaces to prevent the threat of development or other reuse. 

  • <https://www.phillycityrepair.org/> Our mission is to build sustainable communities across Philadelphia that are designed and created by the people who live in them. We help and facilitate neighborhood groups and individuals to bring art, nature, and the sense of community to their streets.
