At Humble Home Gardens
we specialize in creating sustainable gardens
that nurture your home, environment,
and community at large.
Our goal is simple yet transformative : to inspire our community to invite nature back into their everyday lives, to cultivate nutritious and sustainable food sources, and play a small but meaningful role in building a more biodiverse world in their own backyards.
We aim to cultivate nutritious, safe, and secure local food systems through sustainable urban agriculture, community engagement, and local partnerships.
We use edible annual and native plants and sustainable practices to create gardens that promote food security and wellness for ALL living beings while bringing lasting joy to your space.
Proceeds from all projects go toward our non-profit fundraising goals and supporting local food pantries.
No matter the project,
our goal is to blend
nature’s beauty
with sustainability.
Are you a DIY gardener looking
for locally grown seedlings
and how-to videos?
or
Are you looking to transform your outdoor space into a thriving garden, but need someone to do the heavy lifting?
Let’s get started!

Food & Seed Saving in September
This Saturday, September 26th, Streaming Live from Jenn’s Garden
follow live on IG @humblehomegardens

Are you looking at your late-September yard and wondering what you can do with those overgrown vegetables and bursting seed pods? Don’t compost them all just yet! Thats your winter pantry and next years free garden!
Join Jenn this Saturday from her front yarden and solarium while she walks you through what garden veggies they like to store and how you can create your own storage pantry from “not-so- pretty” and clearance food.
She’ll also go over what veggie and native plants she has in her garden, what seeds she’s saving and how to process them for storage and winter sewing.
If you can’t make the live, it will be posted in our blog later this week!
