Land Together, an environmental services organization based in Berkeley, California, oversees the Insight Garden Program (IGP). The program is nationally recognized and evidence-based, operating within prison settings to blend a structured curriculum with experiential gardening and landscaping training. This approach aims to reduce recidivism and contribute to healthier, safer communities. It emphasizes an inside-out path to change by combining vocational skills development with life-skills training to support participants’ successful reentry. The program serves incarcerated individuals, offering practical, job-ready learning that can translate to opportunities after release. In the environmental services landscape, IGP sits at the intersection of education, rehabilitation, and community impact. Recent developments include a partnership with the University of Notre Dame to lead a nationwide randomized study on the impacts of prison-based programs.
