Garfield Terrace Resident Council is a 501c3 located in Washington D.C. at Garfield Terrace Senior serving 200+ disabled, veteran and senior residents

We are blessed to have an extraordinary intergenerational team of experts, innovators, engineers, artists, gardeners and carpenters that advocate tirelessly for a higher quality of life for all our residents. 

Over the past two years we have transformed the rooftop on Garfield Terrace into the first regenerative applied research rooftop garden in public housing built from sustainable and innovative vertical growing designs and methods, an aquaponics nursery, blue + green roof infrastructure, verminculture systems and a 30+ varieties of organic herb, vegetable and pollinators.
