The Rhizome Collective is a consensus-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based on Austin, Texas, USA. The collective was founded in 2000 and operates an Educational Center for Urban Sustainability and a Center for Community Organizing.

In 2004, the Rhizome Collective received a $100,000 grant from the Environmental Protection Agency to convert an abandoned lot in Montopolis, Austin, into an educational park.

[edit] The Rhizosphere

The Rhizome Collective operates out of three warehouses on Allen Street in East Austin. These warehouses and the 1/3 acre (1,300 m²) on which they sit make up the Rhizosphere. In addition to housing the collective, the Rhizosphere is used as a space for the development of urban sustainability practices.

The Rhizosphere hosts space for organizations such as Austin Indymedia, the Austin Zine Library, the Inside Books Project, Bikes Across Borders, and Food Not Bombs.
