About this Event
Seed to Harvest Passport Series
Join Texas Health Community Hope for a 4-part Seed-to-Harvest Garden Passport Series — a hands-on workshop experience designed to help our community grow together. Led by Veronica Petty, Executive Director of Simply Grace Gardens LLC, each session will guide you step-by-step from planning and planting to caring for and harvesting your own food. You’ll learn practical, affordable ways to grow with what you already have, build confidence in your skills, and connect with others who are committed to healthier homes and stronger neighborhoods. Let’s plant, learn, and grow together.
