Adelphi Acre Community Garden

The Adelphi Acre Community Garden, located at the intersection of Adelphi Lane and Amherst Drive in North Austin, is an all-volunteer organic growing cooperative dedicated to locally sourced, fresh food and sustainable, community-based agriculture. The Adelphi Acre Community garden is dedicated to bringing sustainable agriculture to the North Austin area. To reach this goal, we strive for the following: Provide opportunities for local residents to garden and grow organic crops. Promote, educate and disseminate information about safe, sustainable and local food production and organic gardening techniques. Beautify the neighborhood and provide social gathering space and landscaping that incorporates native and adapted, drought tolerant plants.. Provide opportunities for youth groups to take part in ‘hands-on’ learning about sustainable food, healthy lifestyles, and nutrition. Give back to the community by participating in programs that set aside a portion of the harvest for local food banks in need of local, unprocessed foods.
