Started in 2003, Our Savior Community Gardens are a product of the Our Savior Episcopal Church in Dallas. Gardening is, at it's heart, all about the community. Gardeners make friends with their fellow community members as they work, and the produce helps feed the community with healthy food options. Various church and community groups, as well as families, regularly volunteer at the garden.

East Dallas Community Garden is about much more than just gardening. East Dallas is where refugee families in Dallas can come together to bond and grow amongst each other and with the Dallas/Ft. Worth community. Since 1989, the garden has offered a space for these families to garden together and feed their community. The rest of the community is invited to become a part of this important movement as well, as the produce is sold every day in the garden's own farmers market.

When you go out to volunteer at a community garden, the experience is memorable not just for the work you did but the connections you made. It's all about putting roots into the community, and that is what makes Deep Ellum's community gardens so appealing. They feature a first Thursday event every month where you can go out for beers with fellow gardeners, connecting after all your hard work in the hot sun. They also have work days where anyone is welcome to come out and help get some important upkeep work done on the garden.

Kids have found their place at this Fairmont garden. They offer regular painting parties, enriching the space with beautiful art from local kids to make the garden as alive and vibrant as possible. You are not required to be a gardening member to attend the kids painting parties. If you would like to join up, however, you will have your own reserved plot which you can shape into whatever you envision.
