Mission Statement
Racine Urban Garden Network promotes urban gardening and seeks to increase consumption of foods from local sources through sustainable gardening and farming in the Racine area, and to improve nutrition and the environment in our communities through the networking of education and resources.
RUGN seeks to promote a strong gardening effort in the Racine area, and to create a network of resources and education to improve sustainable gardening and farming. RUGN will serve as a central point to connect individuals and organizations that each have visions for their own gardens, and to find available land and resources for people to start gardening projects. The goal is to facilitate communication among all who have the initiative to start a garden.
We grow more than plants!
