The Jefferson Community Garden is a space for the residents of the Jefferson and Monticello Park neighborhoods in San Antonio, Texas. Through a generous donation from SAID, Jefferson High School, the land and water supply are provided.
The Jefferson Community Garden mission is to educate and encourage the community to become more ecologically aware of the importance of land and water conservation. Through sharing experiences, we are building a strong foundation. Sharing is the most gratifying and important aspect of the garden.
Recently, they have been able to produce over 60 pounds of organic fresh vegetables for the community. The two orange trees on the property produced over 8 pounds of oranges that were donated to local food pantries.
