The Bellevue Urban Garden (tBUG)

The Bellevue Urban Garden (tBUG) was founded by Maybin Chisebuka and Nancy Gellos with an important goal in mind: Teach families and kids about the importance of growing healthy food and building a vibrant community centered around food. tBUG is a growing partner for FareStart in Seattle, and the organization also works with schools and the King County Library System to teach kids about growing food.

The best way to visit tBUG is to participate in events it hosts: hands-on activities for families with kids of all ages, some of which offer community service hours for teens. Contact tBUG3rdSpace@gmail.com if you are interested in visiting or volunteering at the garden.

Hours: By arrangement. Check social media for visiting hours or contact the garden.

Find it: 1608 156th St. S.E., Bellevue
