The Eastside Sprout Community Garden site has this wonderful live oak tree. We look forward to having some benches and tables around the tree to sit, relax and enjoy the gardens!

A Blank Canvas...

This morning The Eastside Sprout garden members met at Ella Austin to begin planning the location of water spickets.  The garden, located at the corner of N. Olive and Lamar St., provides a wide open space to work with and a grand oak tree as well.

Calling All Garden Enthusiasts...

The Eastside Sprout is a community garden located at the Ella Austin Community Center in San Antonio's Dignowity Hill Historic District.  The purpose of The Eastside Sprout is to bring community members of all ages together while highlighting the joys and benefits of gardening and healthy eating.  Planning is currently underway and members are anxiously anticipating the fall which will start off the garden's first planting season.  Garden enthusiasts of all skill levels and ages are needed to help make The Eastside Sprout flourish!  If you are interested in joining The Eastside Sprout or would like more information, email theeastsidesprout@gmail.com or visit our facebook page.  We hope to hear from you soon!
