Turning everyday spaces into productive green places.

Half Acre on Hubbard plans, creates, and sustains productive green spaces for homes, businesses, schools, and communities.

Purpose-driven green spaces

More than a planted area

We help transform underused spaces into places that grow food and flowers, support pollinators and other wildlife, bring people together, offer opportunities for learning, and create lasting value.

A working example

From front yard to mini farm

Our North Carolina front yard became a place for vegetables, herbs, fruit, flowers, perennials, pollinators, and everyday learning. The project developed in stages—from clearing and shaping rows to building supports and caring for a living, changing system.
