Want to grow your own food?

The City of Cedar Hill and the Cedar Hill Independent School District are partnering in a community-wide gardening effort. Community gardening helps build relationships, teaches kids the benefits of home grown food and encourages everyone to become part of the Growing Green community. 

What is a Community Garden?
Very simply, it is any piece of land gardened by a group of people.

What are the Benefits of Community Gardens?
  • They provide a place to garden for those who can't where they live.
  • They establish a greater sense of community and offer a place to develop relationships.
  • They teach skills in self-reliance.
  • They promote more local/seasonal eating and increase awareness of where food comes from.
  • They encourage better nutrition through fresh produce.
  • They help people to save money by growing their own groceries.
  • They provide opportunities for recreation, outdoor activitiy and exercise.
  • They help to reduce crime and vandalism.
  • They beautify neighborhoods and increase attitude of pride and ownership.
  • They provide inter-generational and inter-cultural interactions.
