5-Acre Community Garden Project

Growing Resilience, Nourishing Communities, Protecting Texas

The 5-Acre Community Garden Project is more than a garden. It is a beacon of hope for a stronger, greener Texas. By transforming five acres of unused land into a sustainable hub, this project will feed families, protect the environment, and bring people together. With native plants, hands-on education, and community collaboration, the garden will cultivate resilience in the land and the lives it touches.

Natural Flood Protection for Safer Communities

Flooding is a challenge for many Texas communities, but this garden will turn nature into the solution. Rain gardens, bioswales, and native plant zones like switchgrass and little bluestem will reduce water runoff, stabilize soil, and prevent erosion. These natural systems will safeguard neighborhoods while restoring the land’s vitality.

Empowering Texans Through Hands-On Learning

The garden will be a place to grow more than plants. It will grow knowledge, confidence, and connection. With hands-on learning zones, participants will gain skills in sustainable gardening, conservation, and flood prevention. From children learning for the first time to families building stronger futures, the garden will inspire action and equip Texans to make meaningful changes.

Fresh Food, Fresh Hope

At its heart, this garden is about nourishment, not just for the body but for the soul. Over 120 raised beds, shared crops, and two greenhouses will ensure year-round food production. The fresh, organic produce will directly benefit local families and food banks, offering hope and stability to those in need.

Reviving Ecosystems, Restoring Balance

This garden will bloom with life, using native plants to restore habitats and attract essential pollinators. It is not just about growing food. It is about revitalizing the land, creating a thriving ecosystem that supports both nature and people.

A Vision for a Better Texas

At Let’s Help Texans, we believe in turning dreams into action. The 5-Acre Community Garden Initiative reflects our mission to feed communities, protect Texas ecosystems, and inspire lasting change. Together, we can transform underutilized land into a space that heals, educates, and connects.

Your Role in Growing Change

We need your support to bring this vision to life. With a goal of $180,000, every donation helps us take the next step toward building a community garden that feeds families, prevents flooding, and restores the environment. Your contribution is a seed of hope. Together, we can grow something extraordinary.
