OUR STORY
How We Started
Green Thread Network was born from a simple yet powerful idea: that the connections we form with nature and each other are essential to building thriving communities and a healthier planet.
Our founders recognized that public gardens, green community spaces, and environmental organizations have the unique ability to bring people together across differences. By creating networks of support, knowledge-sharing, and collaboration, we can amplify our collective impact.
Today, we continue to weave these threads of connection, supporting professionals and communities in their work to create more inclusive, sustainable, and joyful spaces.
