Making St. Louis a cleaner, greener, better place to live!
Dedicated to cleaning, greening St. Louis since 1982
At Brightside St. Louis, our mission is to improve the quality of life in our community by educating, engaging and inspiring St. Louisans to make our region cleaner, greener and more environmentally sustainable.
From graffiti removal to our sustainable Demonstration Garden to the daffodils that sprout their blooms all around town, Brightside St. Louis is the city’s oldest and most comprehensive nonprofit cleaning and greening organization. Check out our work to grow an even more beautiful St. Louis!
Brightside is funded through donations from individuals, companies and foundations and by a grant from HUD and the St. Louis Community Development Administration.

Want to Beautify a Greenspace in Your Community?
Through the Neighbors Naturescaping program, Brightside offers native plants and tools to St. Louis groups interested in designing, developing and caring for a community greenspace in their City neighborhood.
Brightside is able to offer this program thanks to the Missouri Department of Conservation.
Plant a native garden to brighten up a public or nonprofit space in your neighborhood, and also:
- Restore Missouri native plant communities
- Attract beneficial wildlife, such as butterflies, bees and birds
- Reduce stormwater runoff and protect our drinking water
Request a Neighbors Naturescaping application now through June 26th. Email Brightside at nn@brightsidestl.org or contact the Brightside office at (314) 772-4646.
