Thank you for visiting our website. Urban Garden Supply is a new small business based in the Seward neighborhood of Minneapolis. Our primary focus is collecting and processing building materials destined for the landfill and converting them into quality garden structures and products.
Our primary products are built-to-order raised garden beds and small planters. We will ship raised beds anywhere in the continental United States, although we are focused on being a local source for communities in the Twin Cities.
Our Mission: Urban Garden Supply is committed to offering beautiful, well-built and functional home and garden products made from reclaimed or sustainably produced materials.
Our Values:
- Environmental Stewardship: We believe that environmental stewardship and sustainability start with appreciating the consequences of our collective and individual behaviors. Every day, we can choose to favor sustainability, and it does matter, even if our actions are small in scale. These actions will outlast trendiness and "green guilt."
- Food safety and security: We believe in the universal human right to an adequate and safe food supply. We subscribe to the Precautionary Principle which, in our simple version, is the belief that if something might be dangerous it should be avoided when possible. Consequently, our company supports small-scale organic agriculture over commercial agriculture that uses pesticides and other chemicals. We will not utilize pressure-treated or chemically treated lumber for our garden structures, reclaimed or otherwise.
- Family and community: As a business, we seek to promote and support the benefits of organic gardening for households, families and communities. We believe that it is especially important for children to be exposed to a culture of cultivation that fosters nuturing, patience, and an appreciation for the food and life that we all share.
- Local self-reliance and empowerment: We believe in supporting local businesses, and we make every effort to partner with and obtain our materials from individuals and companies who share our values. We believe that local self-reliance is an empowering force that benefits us as individuals and as a society.
We look forward to helping your green garden grow.
