Fall Vegetable & Community Gardening

Jean Fefer shared information about the Turning Point Center Garden. This is a donation garden that provides food for residents of the Turning Point Center that provides assistance to homeless elders in the Houston area. This community garden welcomes volunteers in many different areas. Jean also provided the class a lot of good basic information about gardening in Houston's climate.
