The Acres Home Highland Park Community Garden: A Green Haven on DeSoto Street
Nestled in the heart of Houston’s vibrant Acres Home neighborhood, the Highland Park Community Garden on Desoto Street is a lush oasis where neighbors come together to cultivate fresh produce, foster connections, and nurture the earth. Spanning vibrant plots of herbs, vegetables, and flowers, this welcoming space transforms an urban corner into a symbol of resilience and renewal—perfect for family outings, quiet reflection, or hands-on learning about sustainable living.
We’re thrilled to announce that The Metallic Sunflower Foundation Inc. has been selected as the dedicated nonprofit partner to maintain, coordinate, and bring this garden to life. With their passion for community empowerment and environmental stewardship, the Foundation is rolling up their sleeves to ensure the garden thrives year-round, from soil prep to harvest celebrations.
