Services for Organizations
At Word & Plant, we partner with public institutions, gardens, parks, and green spaces to help them bridge the gap between their nature-focused missions and the communities they serve. By fostering authentic connections and aligning communications with inclusive values, we empower organizations to expand their impact and inspire lasting relationships with nature.
How We Help
Our work with organizations focuses on creating strategies and solutions that honor both people and the planet. We bring years of experience in ethical qualitative research, community engagement, interpretive communications, and mission alignment to guide your organization toward meaningful transformation.
Our services include:
- Community-Centered Interpretive Communications: Conducting ethical qualitative research to inform narratives that resonate with diverse audiences, centering on community perspectives and inclusive storytelling.
- Strategic Engagement: Developing strategies to welcome and connect with historically excluded communities, ensuring that your green spaces are truly for everyone.
- Mission Alignment: Refining your organization’s vision, mission, and values to better reflect your goals and inspire the people you serve.
Why Work With Us?
We understand that connecting people to nature is about more than providing access—it’s about creating spaces and experiences where everyone feels seen, welcomed, and empowered. With expertise in community-centered approaches and a strong background in public green space consulting, we help organizations evolve their impact while staying true to their mission.
Past Collaborations
We’ve worked with gardens, parks, and green spaces to:
- Redesign interpretive communications strategy to center diverse cultural and ecological stories.
- Reimagine volunteer programs to better align with community needs and values.
- Engage underserved communities through thoughtful research and engagement.
Let’s Grow Together

Like a lot of people, I started my adventures in gardening by going to the hardware store, randomly selecting plants I thought were pretty, and then wondering why they didn't last more than a season (or even a month!) in my yard. I was about to give it up when I met Deena. At first she just gave me a little advice on which plants might do better here and there. Over time I learned more and more and became more confident in what we could accomplish together. Since then she's helped me prepare the soil for a soon-to-be wildflower meadow, curate a thriving pollinator garden with mostly native plants, and a beautiful shade garden in one of the harder to manage spots in my yard. Now she is helping me prevent erosion and restore soil quality with carefully selected plants and some intentional landscaping! It's amazing what you can do when you have a knowledgeable and flexible advisor. Deena is not afraid to try new things but has the expertise and optimism to support you and encourage you in your gardening design. It turns out this can be a fun and rewarding experience when you have the right support!
