Description
Established in 2015 to address health disparities in a high-crime corridor on San Antonio’s near-Eastside, the initiative used crime prevention through environmental design to reshape the site. Beyond daily cultivation, programming is organized around five main efforts: garden-based education, Build-A-Garden projects, volunteer sessions, garden media, and a farmers’ market.
