Community Based Gardening and Educational experiences
New Name, Same Mission
Novick Urban Farm is now Blue Sky Gardens!
In 2026, we went looking for a new name and logo that honored our history and looked toward the future, both for the gardens we grow and the children we work with. The name needed to be something that conveyed our mission and our vision for the future. Inspired by the open, seemingly endless sky at Fort Mifflin, Blue Sky Gardens was born.
