Artan Gardens is an arts and horticultural organization.  We are committed to growing more nutritious food and rejuvenating the environment.  Together, with friends, colleagues, schools, business ambassadors, Government and local food groups we can Cultivate Creative Culture within urban centers.

Join and support our nation- wide program to grow and propagate heirloom seeds: Seed Your City to Feed Your City.  This unique program blends the Arts with Horticultural education.  We provide heirloom seeds and step-by-step guides on how to grow them with an interactive planting and growing curriculum. Seed Your City gives everyone the opportunity to grow their own produce, feed their city, and create stunning edible landscapes.
