Programs

Upcoming Classes
 

Share the Harvest

The volunteer gardeners use their gardening skills to grow fresh produce to donate to the local food pantry every Saturday. In May 2009, the Coppell Community Garden has donated over 100,000 pounds.

Adopt-a-Plot

Individuals and organizations can adopt a raised garden bed to grow vegetables and fruits. The gardeners provide the labor and attention required to have a successful garden. There is a total of 100 plots between the two community gardens.

Composting Education

Both community gardens are a site for the composting education. Master Composters and community volunteers work the compost bins weekly to reduce organic matter and recycle it into a valuable soil amendment.  Compost happens at the Coppell Community Garden!

Coppell Farmers Market

Supporting local agriculture by providing a farmers market as a venue for farmers to sell fresh produce and the community to buy local foods.
