Rooted in community. Growing organically for urban dwellers.

Alter Native weaves forest-inspired stewardship into city plots, balcony boxes, and shared green spaces. We cultivate soil, share seeds, and nurture a resilient, local food economy—together.

Our Vision

A forest-inspired, inclusive garden culture in urban spaces—powered by organic farming, shared knowledge, and collective stewardship.

Year 1

Seed Swaps & Neighborhood Plots

Neighbors gather for seed exchanges, soil testing, and collaborative bed planning, turning balconies and vacant lots into edible landscapes.

Year 2

Community Compost & Education

Public compost hubs reduce waste and enrich soils. We host hands-on workshops on composting, organic pest management, and seasonal planting.

Year 3

Shared Harvest & Local Markets

Volunteer-led harvest days culminate in neighborhood farmers markets with organic produce, seedlings, and knowledge sharing.

Year 4

Urban Agroforestry & Muti-Plot Co-ops

Expansion into multi-plot co-ops that blend edible trees, shrubs, and annual beds, fostering shade, resilience, and biodiversity.
