Thursday Garden Crawl - Gala at Macgregor

Join Harlem River Farms for our weekly Garden Crawl series, where we roll up our sleeves and support community gardens across Houston.

On May 7, we’re headed to The Gala at MacGregor, a unique site serving senior residents and transforming green space into a productive, beautiful garden.

🌱 What to Expect:

• Hands-on gardening (planting, weeding, harvesting)
• Learn simple ways to grow your own food
• Connect with neighbors, growers, and volunteers
• Support a garden that directly serves the community

Whether you’re experienced or brand new — this is for you.

👉 Come for 30 minutes or stay the whole time.

Arrival Instructions:

• Garage Parking

This is a working volunteer session, not just a tour.

Some of the activities that might be required are:

• Garden maintenance
• Planting and harvesting
• Bed preparation and cleanup
• General improvements to the space

• Get your hands in the soil
• Work alongside community members and growers
• Contribute directly to local food production
• Help strengthen a shared community resource

• Hands-on gardening experience
• Practical growing knowledge you can use at home
• A deeper connection to this community
• The opportunity to be part of something meaningful

Community gardens like Hershe Street require consistent care to thrive.

By volunteering, you’re helping:

• Increase local food production
• Support neighborhood access to fresh food
• Strengthen community ownership of shared spaces

This is part of our broader effort to build a more sustainable, community-driven food system in Houston.
