Green Thumbs for Healthy Bodies

Green Thumbs for Healthy Bodies is the nonprofit arm of our work, focused on bringing more nature based solutions into our communities and supporting the people and places that need them most.

We focus on:

  •  Healthier Communities – Creating access to clean water, fresh food, and green spaces

  •  Environmental Education – Teaching hands-on sustainability through gardens and wetlands

  •  Equity in Action – Supporting underserved neighborhoods with tools for resilience

We believe everyone deserves access to thriving ecosystems.

Our Mission

We’re on a mission to empower communities through nature-based solutions that improve health, self-sufficiency, and environmental justice.

We do this by:

  • Supporting sustainable agriculture in water-sensitive areas

  • Building living classrooms and demonstration sites

  • Partnering with schools, neighborhoods, and local leaders

  • Making floating gardens accessible and affordable

 

Our work creates lasting impact — improving water quality, boosting local food systems, and reconnecting people to the ecosystems around them.
