Deloney Street Community Garden

2007 Neighborhood Beautification Grant Recipient

The Deloney Street Community Garden used grant funds to create a brand new community garden on a vacant lot in East Austin, 1368 Deloney Street - 78721.  Volunteers removed poison ivy, built raised beds, and installed a community pavilion/water catchment system to create a thriving community space and garden dedicated to food crops.

Close to 1,000 volunteer hours were donated towards completion of Phase 1 of the project.  Phase 2 will focus on building, installing water catchment, pumping and irrigation systems, a compost tea brewer, rotating compost barrels, harnessing active (panels) and passive (greenhouse) solar energy, trimming trees to make space for 8 more raised beds, replacing 7 invasive trees with 14 fruit trees, creek bank restoration and building a creek bridge.
