We have one last bed to complete!

If you have a talent for killing plants or just need to get rid of some stress, come take a whack at our garden tomorrow evening. We're ripping everything out and solarizing the beds. All work is done under a tent, and we will provide tools, gloves and water.

Will also sign for community service hours.

Our next Community Garden work day is coming up soon and we’d love your help! We need volunteers to help us solarize the gardens for fall planting.

Help grow Victoria by taking part! Join us Thursday evening (5-7 pm) at the Pattie Dodson Public Health Center (2805 N. Navarro). You’ll see us outside on the left of the building.
