Garden started in 2023 as a co-working and one off event space, but came into 2024 as a fully fledged community center focused on providing opportunities for community members to develop genuine relationships with each other. In our first full year leaning into this mission, and with the help of our community, we accomplished the following.
Distributed $20,000 of PPE
We distributed approximately $20,000 worth of masks, tests, air purifiers and other personal protective equipment to community members.
Hosted over 150 Events in Garden
We have grown to over 500 members that have signed up over the past year, with close to 1000 individuals that have have engaged in Garden based events.
We hosted 5 Arts + Tech Fellows!
We created over 40 unique virtual experiences for community members inside Garden including birthday parties, a wedding, festivals, interactive rooms and more!
Collaborations across the [Virtual] World
We've collaborated with artists, community led-groups and organizations to create stand alone virtual spaces for conferences, parties, art installations and education focused activities.
We taught workshops for audiences who learned how to create virtual spaces of their own at conferences, classrooms, and community based workshops.
Welcomed Community Groups
We welcomed, and designed office/event space for multiple community groups and organizations to join us in our Garden Organizations hub.
Thank You!
As Garden continues to grow and develop into an expansive community network, we are so grateful for all the facilitators, donors, organizers, members, guests and amazing PEOPLE that have made this pixelated place what it is! While we have accomplished so much together in this last year, we look forward to continuing the work with all our folks! THANK YOU!
