In 2020 a volunteer project in collaboration with Habitabilidad22202<\/a> and sponsored by the BID de Aterrizaje Nacional<\/a>, la Club Rotario de Crystal City-Pent\u00e1gono<\/a>, y el Arlington Departamento de Parques y Recreaci\u00f3n del Condado<\/a> was developed by FOUA as a model demonstration urban garden.

Located near Pentagon City in Virginia Parque de las Tierras Altas<\/a>, the HUG revitalized an underused \u201cmarginalized\u201d strip of land near the park\u2019s tennis courts and illustrates how otherwise fallow spaces can be transformed into thriving, vibrant and abundant ecosystems! 

The HUG engages visitors with information on the plants, techniques, and principles used to grow a mix of edible vegetative crops, pollinators, and local natives. As a pilot site, it serves as a model for future community supported agriculture projects throughout Arlington.

In 2025 the volunteer team celebrated its 5th year with an exciting permission from Arlington County to add a new area with 4 more beds almost doubling the original footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
