Westside Community Garden up coming events:

Spring is in the air and it's time to start getting the WS Garden ready for planting season. Please see the below events going on in YOUR community garden. 

The WS garden committee has been working with the UT Austin SporUTing program for a few years now. They have a lovely representative that attends our committee meetings to assist us with our plans as well as providing us free plants and seeds through their Spread the Harvest event. We are working hard to keep the community garden going and the more help the better!!

We hope to see you at one of our events!

Join us for the February 20th  Garden Committee Meeting 3:00 - 4:00 PM

We are looking for anyone who is interested in the garden! You do NOT need to have any gardening skills. Just an interest in our community garden.

Please join us in the STEM Room Thursday 2.20.25 for a brainstorming session. Kids are welcome to hangout.
