Harambee Community Garden can provide lessons about how it was able to last this long – 12 years – and where it’s headed from here. The garden in the 500 block of North Waller Avenue is surrounded by two churches, a fire station, a senior home, Austin Town Hall, the library and Frederick Douglass Academy High School.
Come to this Saturday’s meeting and learn how to get involved in this season’s garden at the corner of Race and Waller.
The National Volunteer Week event was part of the company’s ongoing involvement with students who participate in the Stay in School Initiative.
The Root-Riot urban garden across from Douglass High School recently held its first bartering event.
West Siders came together to celebrate the Harambee community garden, which took root for the first time this year.
High school students working on Harambee Garden earn service hours and learn the value of helping others.
