Urban Herbs is a Georgetown University project that transforms small patches of land on campus into luxuriant gardens that mix medicinal herbs, food plants, native species, ornamentals, and nectary and host plants for pollinators and birds.
Our goal is to introduce people to unusual, useful, and delightful plants while educating our community about ecological, low-maintenance gardening. We aim to showcase the astounding biodiversity achievable even in tiny urban pockets of land.
Anyone can create a rewarding garden!
