About the Project
Habitat Urban Gardens (HUG) was founded in 2004 by Master Gardener David Craig in partnership with Habitat for Humanity. Nearly 250 Habitat for Humanity landscapes have been installed to date.
As Master Gardeners, we represent the Knox County Extension Service by promoting University of Tennessee–recommended best practices in home and vegetable gardening. We assist Habitat homeowners with landscape and garden planning, covering soil preparation, plant selection, nutrition, water management, turf care, vegetable gardening, and integrated pest and weed management.
Education is provided through one-on-one instruction and trusted research-based resources, with an emphasis on sound science and sustainable practices.
HUG members value the relationships built with Habitat homeowners and the positive impact on our community. Those wishing to strengthen their gardening skills through hands-on experience are encouraged to join the HUG program.
