Committed to Community

Blodgett Urban Gardens is committed to teaching the surrounding Third Ward community and Harris County gardening techniques that utilize recycled materials and can be achieved in a limited amount of space.  

We teach various techniques such as: how to make compost, how to grow herb from seeds and a cutting, and how to make a greenhouse out of recycled household materials. Each community is very enthusiastic about learning how to incorporate patio gardening into their daily lives, as well as realize the long term benefits of growing their own fruits, vegetables and herbs. The main benefit is to give the residents the skills, knowledge, and confidence to create a healthy food source within the, “Food Dessert” in which they live.  The best reward of all is when we get to hear all the wonderful reports that their plants are growing.
