Welcome
One of the biggest barriers to growing food in the city is access to land - despite the fact that many yards, lawns, and backyards have plenty of room to spare. Sharing Backyards links people with unused yard space with those looking for a place to grow food.
If you have a garden and want to share it with someone, or if you are looking for a space to garden, Sharing Backyards is for you. Have questions? Please read our Frequently Asked Questions before emailing for support.
