The Neighborhood Garden Project started in Katy, Texas, with one goal: to help people grow. Yes, we grow food. But the real work is about people—helping them slow down, reconnect with creation, and remember who they are.

We’re not your typical community garden. Our spaces are open to everyone—no fences, no gates. And instead of just planting vegetables and hoping people show up, we have full-time garden stewards who are present every day. Their focus isn’t just on cultivating plants. It’s on cultivating people. They hold space, they listen, and they walk with folks through the ups and downs of life. It’s quiet work. But it’s real.

We work with schools, churches, and other local groups, but everything we do is rooted in relationship. Whether someone’s planting their first seed or simply needs a place to breathe, the garden offers that. It’s not about production. It’s about presence.

We’ve seen that when people put their hands in the soil, something begins to shift. They remember they’re part of something greater. They find peace they didn’t know they needed. They start to heal. And slowly, they begin becoming who they were always meant to be.

We’re not trying to grow fast or chase big numbers. We’re focused on what’s right in front of us. We believe that when we tend to what’s been entrusted to us with care and consistency, the growth will come—steady and strong—not because we forced it, but because the roots are deep and the soil is good.
