An Urban Land Army is a group of city people that gets together to grow food, learn some solid skills, and bring vegetables to the people.

Here’s how it works:
Here on this site - and in real-life - you create your very own Urban Land Army of family, friends, neighbors, colleagues, or anyone else you consider "up for the job.” Your group then works on fun projects like Bucket Brigades, converting lawns to vegetable gardens, building worm compost bins, finding vacant land in your neighborhood to garden, throwing applesauce-making parties, anything you fancy. Team up with other armies here, or just check out what they're up to!

Over at the main website - www.urbanlandarmy.com - we provide the how-to information you need to work on your projects and to learn some skills, like ripping out your lawn, planning and planting your first garden, or canning things up for winter. We also have some supplies for sale like “built for work” Urban Land Army T-shirts, City Seed Packs, Land Survey Kits, and posters for your room.

To set up your Army, simply click on the 'Groups' tab above, then 'Add a Group' and fill in the blanks with a name, a photo. Then, follow the steps to add other information like what you're interested in, what you're working on, and what you need help with. You can invite people to join your Army, post nifty links, and start discussions on topics that interest you.

Armies are organized by geographical area, so if you want to see if there is already one set up in your part of town, just click on the 'Groups' tab. You can join this Army or set up another one!

Do your own thing
We know that group work isn't for everyone. So, you can be a free agent here on the site and work on your own projects at home!

Some fun things to do here include:
