Gardening Classes (Community Gardens)

WCCHD's award-winning community gardening program serves many purposes to the community — it's a “classroom” for children and a place to play, it's a resource that supports active and healthy lifestyles, and it encourages social interactions and helps beautify the county.

But most importantly, the gardens are a place to grow organic fruits, vegetables, and herbs for anyone that would like a garden or would like to learn how to garden. The WCCHD Heritage Community Garden in Georgetown is accessible to community members who would like to adopt a garden plot.

Gardening Classes
In addition to the community gardens program, WCCHD sponsors Expert Gardener certification classes taught by WCCHD horticulturist Natalie Vreeland. These classes are designed to “take the mystery out of gardening in central Texas,” Vreeland says.
