Share On Social!

The Garland Multicultural Garden plot at the Garland Community Garden was officially installed on October 8th, 2014 in Garland, TX, a city considered part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

The new plot is a collaboration between Loving Garland Green, a local non-profit dedicated to increasing urban gardens in Garland, and the Garland Community Multicultural Commission.

The multicultural garden plot represents an extension of the learning format of the Garland community garden network. According to a blog post by Loving Garland Green member Liz Berry, some of the most beautiful and productive gardens in the city are those grown by residents who are not native to Texas.  Loving Garland Green hopes that through the installation and participation of members of the city’s immigrant community to further expand the plant diversity and thus the food security of the community.

Members from the community, representatives from the Garland Community Multicultural Commission, and even Mayor Douglas Athas attended the groundbreaking ceremony.
