The mission of the Wylde Center is to support resilient communities by connecting people to nature through environmental education and public greenspace. Within the dense urban landscape of Atlanta, Wylde Center manages eight acres of greenspace across five garden sites. We provide year-round opportunities to garden and grow food, programs that teach environmental stewardship, and nature-based learning for children. Wylde Center was founded in 1997 out of a need to provide opportunities to experience nature in an urban environment. As a result of the community’s involvement and commitment, the organization has evolved into a large and active nonprofit organization operating five greenspaces (Oakhurst Garden, Sugar Creek Garden, Hawk Hollow, Edgewood Community Learning Garden, and the Mulberry Fields Garden) in four different Decatur and Atlanta neighborhoods, open year round for the community, for events and for Wylde Center’s educational programs.
