TEST PLOT IS A NONPROFIT THAT SUPPORTS COMMUNITY-BASED LANDCARE

We imagine an planet where our parks and open spaces are biodiverse, vibrant ecosystems, where neighbors come together to care for the land and each other.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

โ€œFor us we were looking for an outlet to be outside, we love our apartment but itโ€™s tiny so we were looking for people with like values, who are interested in the earth, in planting, in consideration of ecosystemsโ€
— Anthony Martin, Test Plot volunteer
โ€œItโ€™s also about care. Because weโ€™ve bonded to the land here we have more of an investment in the plants and we want them to do well. It requires someone to give their time and you know thatโ€™s valuableโ€
— Dante Iรฑiguez, Test Plot volunteer
