About the TTG

The Terborgh Terrace Garden (TTG) is a dynamic collaboration between the Northern Virginia Conservation Trust (NVCT) and Friends of Urban Agriculture (FOUA) in the Donaldson Run neighborhood of Arlington, VA.


The inspiration for this project came from Anne Terborgh, who lovingly tended to this vibrant garden for countless years, nurturing it with care and dedication. To honor  her legacy, NVCT has committed to rejuvenating these beautiful grounds while simultaneously creating a valuable neighborhood resource. Gardening offers a profound connection to the natural world and whether tending to the plants and grounds or just visiting this space, it will provide opportunity for our community members to forge those connections.

 

The TTG will join the Plot Against Hunger program, an initiative led by our partners at FOUA. This space will grow hundreds of pounds of fresh produce annually for donation to local food pantries, combatting food insecurity in our communities. It will also be a local resource for urban agriculture education, access to green space, and community gathering.

Planting Seeds for the Future

To launch this multi-year project and create a thriving community garden, we need your help!  We are raising funds for the first round of critical garden infrastructure including deer fencing, garden tools, seeds, and more. Your donation will directly  support getting this project off the ground by getting the Terborgh Terrace Garden planted in time for late spring! We need to raise $21,500 by May 1st in order to make this happen.


Support us in creating a sustainable green oasis, nurturing both the land and the people it serves. Join our journey towards a brighter, greener future right here in Northern Virginia. Together, we can sow the seeds of a more nourished future and grow roots at the TTG.​ Visit our donation page or reach out for more details.
