Mission, Vision & Programs

The Mission & Vision

Seattle Tilth inspires and educate people to garden organically, conserve natural resources and support local food systems in order to cultivate a healthy urban environment and community.  Our vision is to transform the NW region into the organic gardening capital of the world. 

The Programs

We are cultivating a sustainable city, one garden at a time, through several programs.  Learn more about all of our programs here:

• CLASSES FOR ADULTS
  Learn about organic gardening, composting, and raising backyard chickens & goats.
• CAMPS & CLASSES FOR KIDS & FAMILIES
  At our organic vegetable garden, children participate in fun, "hands-on" educational programs for school groups and families during the school year, and camps for kids during the summer.
• THE GARDEN HOTLINE
  Ask us! Garden educators will answer your garden and resource conservation questions and email you helpful information.

  Become a master at composting and then teach your neighbors why compost is so beloved by gardeners, farmers and evnironmentalists.
