About

CIELO community garden needs volunteers to help install chicken wire structures around the garden and the individual plots. If time and materials are available, volunteers may also help repair and rebuild wooden raised garden beds.

Please dress for the weather and possible tasks, including sunscreen and close-toed shoes. We encourage you to bring a water bottle.

CIELO Refugee Community Gardens provides a gardening space for educational and social opportunities for San Antonio's recently resettled refugee community. CIELO stands for gardening through Community, Interfaith, Education, Literacy, and Opportunity. It is a community-based partnership involving volunteers, educators, and members of San Antonio's resettled refugee community. The gardens are located at House of Prayer Lutheran Church, where the congregation has opened their doors for adult education courses and social services to San Antonio's nearby refugee community. Students have their own garden plots, and teachers use the gardens as a tool in their English literacy courses.
