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.

We’ll bridge the gap between ancient gardening wisdom and modern ecological science, moving from the soil up to the harvest.
