Neighborhood Grant Program: Sanger Heights GardenFest

Sanger Heights Neighborhood Association was awarded a City of Waco Neighborhood Grant to host GardenFest at Seley Park. The purpose of GardenFest was to introduce the neighborhood to gardening in order to engage and beautify the neighborhood with new plants and trees. Sanger Heights partnered with Urban Reap to provide gardening education and tips at four different stations. Each person who attended was able to take home small herbs, vegetable plants, tree sapling, garden gloves and a gardening trowel. Children participated in the child’s scavenger hunt throughout the park. Congratulations to Sanger Heights on a successful event!
