Get Moving Urban Gardens program at Southwest Multi-Service Center, 6400 High Star Dr. in Houston's Sharpstown neighborhood. This Houston Health Department initiative provides hands-on vegetable gardening and urban agriculture education for community members. Participants learn to grow their own fresh produce, practice sustainable gardening techniques, and build food self-sufficiency skills. The community garden plots are maintained collaboratively, and harvested produce is available to gardeners and neighbors. The program promotes physical activity, healthy eating, community connection, and food security in neighborhoods with limited access to fresh produce.
