Eat, Grow, Love

At Smiling Hogshead Ranch in the heart of New York City, an abandoned dumping site transforms into a thriving urban garden without fences or boundaries — a testament to the power of community and nature working in harmony.

Discover how guerrilla gardening evolved into a vibrant green space where compost systems enrich the soil, mushrooms remediate toxins and captured rainwater sustains the garden. Through collaborative efforts like "Terrific Tuesdays," neighbors come together to grow food, foster connections, and reimagine what’s possible in urban environments.

Smiling Hogshead Ranch is more than a garden; it’s a living blueprint for regenerative urban living and community resilience.
