Who does Neighborhood Gardens aim to serve?

Various members of the Dallas Community who are lacking access and resources to fresh produce. Anyone who is lacking fresh foods are more than welcome to our gardens. Our goal is to eliminate food deserts!

How do I know if I can take food from the garden?

The food in our gardens is available to anyone who needs it. Whether you stop by once or regularly, the gardens are lovingly planted for community use. If you need advice or instructions on how/what to harvest, please visit the Location section of our website for tutorials and regularly updated information. The gardens are shared by the community, so we ask everyone who participates in this project to respect them.
