Spring Garden Series
Twelve Weeks of Soil, Seed, and Stewardship
Join the BE Community Garden this spring for a hands-on journey into the art of regenerative gardening.
Whether you are planting your very first seed or you’ve spent decades tending the Texas earth, our weekly workshops offer something for everyone.
