Urban Harvest

Comment on Facebook

Urban Harvest is a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening communities through gardening education. We help build gardens at schools for education, in neighborhoods for community growth, and at places of worship for donation to feed the hungry.

Our Bayou City Farmers' Market supports local small-scale growers. We offer a variety of organic-based gardening classes to educate community gardeners, teachers and the backyard gardener how to grow fruits and vegetables using organic methods. Lessons are also held in our on-site teaching garden and as part of our after-school program at area elementary schools.

A Board of Directors, countless volunteers and our hardworking staff support the program. Funding comes from private foundations, public grants, memberships, and private individuals.

We help build communities from the ground up by promoting sustainable urban land and horticultural practices to grow food and reduce hunger.
