Native Planting in Texas Community Gardens
2025-11-14 09:00 - 12:00 | High Country Community Garden, 16418 Cypress Park St, San Antonio, Texas, 78247
Join us for a volunteer day at High Country Community Garden!
We’ll kick things off with a discussion on the importance of native planting in community gardens in Texas. Native plants play a crucial role in conserving water, supporting pollinators, and maintaining the health of our local ecosystems—all while keeping gardens vibrant and sustainable.
After the discussion, we’ll put our learning into action by planting a variety of native species in the garden’s demonstration bed. This hands-on project will showcase how native plants can enhance the beauty and resilience of a shared community space.
This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about sustainable gardening practices, connect with fellow volunteers, and make a lasting impact on this community garden.

Workshop: Soil Health in Raised Beds
2025-11-15 09:00 - 12:00 | Labor Serena Community Garden, 1246 Chalmers Ave, San Antonio, Texas, 78211
Join us for a volunteer day at Labor Serena Community Garden!
We’ll begin with a discussion on the importance of soil health in raised garden beds. Good soil, with amendments like mulch and compost, is vital for conserving water and supporting healthy plant growth.
Then we’ll dive right in with some hands-on work! Together, we’ll be revamping several raised beds from the ground up. We’ll build a new foundation so the beds retain more soil during watering. Then we’ll fill the beds with soil and fresh compost, before topping them off with a protective layer of mulch.
This is a great opportunity to build practical gardening skills, connect with others, and ensure that this community garden has a solid foundation for its spring growing season.
No prior experience is needed! The staff of Labor Serena will be providing food and beverages – Just bring your energy and get ready to get your hands in the soil.
