Solitary Gardens: Freedom to Grow

Solitary Gardens transforms solitary confinement cells into living garden beds. The beds are designed and remotely gardened by incarcerated collaborators — known as Solitary Gardeners — and tended by community members on the outside.

Both directly and metaphorically, Solitary Gardens asks us to imagine a landscape without prisons.

Our Commitment

Grounded in justice. Rooted in this land.

The Center embraces movements for justice and liberation, partnering with leaders from BIPOC communities. We affirm the following Land Acknowledgment: We acknowledge that we are on Bulbancha, now called New Orleans. Bulbancha, which means place of many tongues, is the unceded land of the Chitimacha, the Houma, the Chahta Yakni (Choctaw), the Atakapa Ishak Chawasha, and all Indigenous peoples of this region.
