Boys & Girls Club Student/Community Garden at Consuleo Mendez Middle School

 The school/community garden was created in response to the community's need that were brought up during a town hall meeting at the local elementary school in 2013. The community is in need of access to nutritious foods for its students and residents. 

Our school is located in Austin, TX. in the 78744 zip code which houses the highest amount of obese residents in all of Austin/Travis County.

we are still in the development phase where our long term goal is to provide access for the students and the community to fresh produce grown locally here in their community.
