Join us for a volunteer day at Labor Serena Community Garden!

We’ll begin with a discussion on the importance of soil health in raised garden beds. Good soil, with amendments like mulch and compost, is vital for conserving water and supporting healthy plant growth.

Then we’ll dive right in with some hands-on work! Together, we’ll be revamping several raised beds from the ground up. We’ll fill the beds with soil and fresh compost, before topping them off with a protective layer of mulch.

This is a great opportunity to build practical gardening skills, connect with others, and ensure that this community garden has a solid foundation for its spring growing season.

No prior experience is needed! The staff of Labor Serena will be providing food and beverages – just bring your energy and get ready to get your hands in the soil.

Bexar Branches Alliance will host a free community tree adoption event at Chicho Boys Produce on November 15 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. through our Rooted Resilience Program.

Rooted Resilience was BBA’s pilot program, created to offer income-qualified homeowners free tree care services to help maintain their mature trees. The Avenida Guadalupe neighborhood was selected for this effort because it has the lowest tree equity score and canopy coverage in the City of San Antonio.

With the remaining program funds, we are excited to host this free tree adoption, where we will distribute 250 trees. Volunteers are welcome to join us to help distribute trees and assist with plantings as we continue to grow a healthier, more resilient community.
