The Westbury Community Garden is one of the largest, most successful community gardens in Houston.
The garden has received recognition at both local and national levels. Guided by its slogan, ‘Growing Community through Gardening,’ it truly lives up to that mission. We’ve created a welcoming space where residents from nearby single-family homes and multi-family housing come together to garden and build community.
Our gardeners are as diverse as the produce they grow and they come from all over southwest Houston. People from different backgrounds, cultures, and circumstances come together as gardeners.
