Our Mission
The Great Planting is a nonprofit movement dedicated to restoring land, conserving water, and strengthening communities through drought-resistant native plants that support healthy local watersheds. Join us in rebuilding resilient landscapes, recharging soils, and helping protect the future of our water.
Our Values
What We Stand For
Start Where You Are
Real change begins at the local level. Yards, schools, neighborhoods, and shared spaces all have the power to save water, restore soil, and life when we plant with purpose.
Work With Nature
We follow the patterns of the land—local rainfall, soils, and native plants. By working with natural systems instead of against them, we create landscapes that are resilient and hold water.
Build Community Through Action
Planting is something people can do together. We bring communities, families, schools, and organizations into the process, turning small actions into shared momentum
Make Impact Practical
Solutions should be simple, accessible, and grounded in real results. Lower water use, less maintenance, healthier soil, and thriving habitat are outcomes people can do and see.
When landscapes are beautiful, they spark curiosity, pride, and care. Beauty becomes the bridge that brings people in—and keeps them engaged in doing what’s right for the land and our watersheds.Â
