Make a Donation
Everything we do at UpGarden is powered by volunteers. Since 2012, our gardeners have made the rooftop of Mercer Garage into a community space where sustainable urban agriculture and the spirit of giving thrive. Your gift enables us to continue our mission and directly supports community outreach programs that provide nutritious food to our neighbors in Uptown and beyond.
Pollinator Beds
Help us feed the birds and the bees. Your donation allows us to keep pollinator beds throughout the garden teeming with flowers that our flying friends love.
Giving Garden
We deliver organic produce grown and harvested by our volunteers to local food banks. Support our efforts to provide meals for neighbors in need.
Grow a Row & Gleaning
Many UpGardeners keep a row reserved for donation, and we also glean plots to minimize food waste. Community donations provide the tools.
Your contributions matter and keep us growing.
UpGarden would never have been dreamed into existence without the hard work of neighborhood advocates and volunteers. And we would not continue to be here serving the Uptown community without the generous support of our donors. Gifts of any amount are always appreciated and you have our promise we will put them to good use. We are a 501(c)(3) organization (EIN number 91-1091819) and accept donations through our fiscal sponsor, GROW Northwest.
Volunteer at the Garden
Work Parties bring UpGardeners and volunteers together to tackle projects that keep our space accessible and the plants and pollinators happy. We welcome all skill and physical ability levels for these group efforts. If you would like to learn more about urban gardening or just want to spend time in community with your neighbors in a beautiful setting, please join us on the roof. No invitation required.
