Join Gardopia Gardens on Saturday mornings to volunteer on the 0.5 acre Eastside Micro-Farm to practice healthy living and sustainability!

On Saturday morning Gardopia invites community members to get their hands dirty and cultivate San Antonio’s little slice of a garden utopia! From composting, chicken care, planting, crop rotation, organizing, and more! We are open to individuals, friends, families, beginners, experts, and anyone else who wants to help cultivate an educated, health, and environmentally sustainable city!

COVID-19: In order to help keep volunteers healthy, we offer free masks, have an open air space to allow for ventilation, and are currently keeping volunteer groups to 25 people or less to allow for optimal physical distancing.

December 18 Gardening Essentials will meet at Pharm Table where we will learn from ceramic artist Diana Kersey about the use of ollas in the garden. Diana will also share tips on creating our own ollas using clay pots, and how to seal them so they will hold the water underground and keep water available to plant roots.  

We will eat lunch at the restaurant. Please bring your own lunch. Restaurant is closed Mondays and Pharm Table is graciously providing us meeting space.  

Come enjoy this festive time of fellowship! 
Pharm Table is located at 611 S Presa Street Suite 106, in San Antonio.

On Monday, board members received the future energy generation recommendation from the Rate Advisory Committee. RAC members were strongly divided on their recommendation: 13 members recommending a pathway supposed to hit our 2030 carbon-reductions target (but failing 2040 and 2050) by swapping out coal for gas; seven members voted instead for plans much stronger on renewable energy.

BACKGROUND: Read Deceleration’s report:

“CPS Energy’s Rate Committee Readies Recommendation to Swap Out Coal for Gas.”

Every Saturday is Volunteer Day.

The Tamōx Talōm Community Food Forest is a 4-acre space located at Padre County Park, designed to provide a source of fresh local food and build resilience, environmental sustainability, wellness, and connections to our flourishing community. The goal is to turn this Southside park into an urban food forest and edible gardens, we will create a teachable example of growing our own food in public spaces for a more sustainable future. We are neighbors in the city that would like to see more food grown in public spaces. This is a great opportunity to grow food, grow relations, and grow an increasingly self-sustainable society. All are welcome. If you dig food, come join us. The more hands on deck the quicker we can grow a sustainable food forest, right alongside San Antonio’s legendary river, parks, and World Heritage Site.
