Growing Gardens, Growing People
New Name, Same Mission
Novick Urban Farm is now Blue Sky Gardens!
In 2026, we adopted a new name and logo that reflect both where we've been and where we're going. Inspired by the wide-open sky above Fort Mifflin, Blue Sky Gardens celebrates growth, learning, and the connections that flourish through community gardening.
