🌿✨ Discover Organic Gardening at Mercedes Community Garden! ✨🌿

Our Discover Organic Gardening class at HEB Park was a great opportunity to learn and connect 🌱

Participants got hands-on experience exploring sustainable gardening techniques while enjoying the community garden space. A special highlight of the evening was a beautifully crafted birdhouse generously donated by Adin Martinez 🐦🏡 — adding even more life and purpose to our garden!

📸 Swipe through to see the birdhouse and its installation in the garden!

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported — we look forward to seeing even more of the community at future classes 🌼
