Help us Build the Walnut Workshed

The Walnut Workshed is a space for youth learning in the gardens, storage and refrigeration space for Walnut Way’s urban farm. Help us grow our vision of an environmentally just community with enhanced facilities. Your donation towards our $30K goal will go a long way for our agriculture program and will help our program for years to come!

Our Vision

Our vision for the Walnut Workshed includes purposeful features such as:

• A mural by a local artist
• Signage to honor the space
• Storage for urban agriculture tools
• Shelving for youth supplies
• Refrigeration unit in a refurbished shipping container
• A garage and shelter for youth to hold workshops, plant seeds, and learning labs
• Tables for learning
• etc.

Walnut Way is a community driven nonprofit organization celebrating over 20 years in operation. Founded on the belief that our neighborhood is full of assets, residents converted vacant lots and restored a boarded up home into an active community center where neighbors lead from where they live through revitalization and community development efforts.

Walnut Way is dedicated to removing barriers to wellness, work, and wealth through civic engagement, environmental stewardship, and creating venues for prosperity.

Walnut Way is located at 2240 N 17th St in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the Lindsay Heights Neighborhood on Milwaukee’s near northside.
