Anyone throughout the area can now rent garden plots or take gardening classes at the new site located on Gattis School Road in Round Rock. The spring garden season begins February 1 and goes through July 31. The garden has 42 beds of various sizes which are available for rental for a low seasonal or annual rate. The all-organic community garden also grows local produce to supply the Round Rock Area Serving Center and its clients.
Unity Park Community Garden is also a great place to meet other gardeners of all skill levels, learn the latest in organic gardening practices and give back to the community while enjoying your own crop of fresh vegetables. Access to water and a community tool shed with hand tools to use in the community garden are also available to those renting a plot.
Launched last year by a group of local residents with a vision of locally-grown sustainable food, Unity Park Community Garden has already been recognized with several national and local grants for its efforts to bring fresh produce and organic gardening practices to the community.
Neighborhood Harvest Project is a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to promoting healthy local food and sustainable living through education and community gardening in Round Rock and surrounding areas.
