Jefferson Community Garden Approved by Historic Design Review Board

With approval from the city's Historic Design Review Board, Jefferson Community Garden has cleared a major hurdle and will soon become a reality according to Michael Soto. He says they plan to start tilling as soon as we get a little rain.

The new community gardens will be located between the back fence of Jefferson United Methodist Church and Gramercy Place near the corner of Gramercy Place and Wilson.


The garden will have twelve raised planting beds, four of which are designated for common use. A small storage area and an entrance arch will complete the design.


There's room for more people to get involved. If you are interested call Michael at 738-8520. In addition to working on the community garden, Michael is currently campaigning for the SAISD School Board, so you may find him or his wife Celina Pena on your doorstep as they block walk.
