Your front yard can change this city.
We make that change affordable.
Houston is mostly private ground: front yards. When one becomes a healthy garden, the whole block benefits. We help you make yours real, whatever you start with.
Summer 2026 · Houston A living garden. It changes with the seasons.
Four ways the numbers change.
The affordability system, on one page. Four movements; step into any of them.
Why it costs less here
The price was never in the plant. It is in the distance, and we close it.
How you pay for it
Four payments, phase billing, memberships, a registry. The price bends to a life.
What it gives back
The street returns the value: recognition, standing offers, and a fight worth funding.
Nobody priced out
The 3% and the Living Prize hold the floor.
Door photographs: real Holon gardens Summer 2026 · Houston
Photographed in a Holon garden this summer.
Every species here was photographed in one of our gardens in Summer 2026. What blooms rotates with the year. The seed heads stay for the birds.
Every garden, built from its own mile.
Each garden composed, as far as it can be, from what its own mile already holds. The neighbour who prunes. The drill that sleeps in a garage most of the year. The grower with a side yard of one-gallon natives. The grandmother who remembers what bloomed here before turfgrass.
The people
Skills within walking distance. The neighbour who prunes, the mason two streets over. Hands that get named, credited, and paid.
The tools
Most tools sleep in garages. Shared within the mile, fewer things are bought twice and more things circulate.
The money
What used to leave the block as a maintenance contract stays as wages, skill fees, and tool shares. Circulation, not extraction.
One radius, three returns: social, cultural, economic. We print the distance the way we print species and dates, only when it is true.

This work is older than our name: prairies over parking garages in 2012, mown-edge yards in 2016, a sanctuary opened by ribbon in 2025.
We name the number, the place, and the date.

The lawn is a default. A garden is a decision.
Host a garden, support the network, or learn the work. We will name the species, the time, and the hands.
