Greener Partners is a Philadelphia-area nonprofit in the education sector that focuses on strengthening community health through urban farming, equitable access to fresh food, and discovery-based learning. It partners with schools, hospitals, and community organizations to convert underutilized land into urban gardens that provide fresh produce for communities experiencing food insecurity. Their programs combine hands-on gardening with cooking and nutrition education and include no-cost distributions of fruits and vegetables. Seed-to-plate lessons are built on research indicating that integrating garden education with food education increases fruit and vegetable intake. Based in Philadelphia, the organization named Whitney Lingle as executive director in 2024.
