Welcome to the garden!
This space is maintained and operated by the Young Gardeners Program (YGP), which is part of the local nonprofit organization, Galveston’s Own Farmers Market!
Please review guidelines for using our gardens by clicking the plus sign:
-
If you are here with children, make sure all tools/equipment are stored safely out of reach when not in use.
When touching plants, keep your eyes open for thorns, insects or any surprises!
When moving about the garden, be aware of any potential hazards such as sharp tools, uneven ground, antpiles, etc.
Wash your hands thoroughly after working in the garden to prevent the spread of germs and bacteria.
Don’t let anyone into the garden from outside your campus.
-
Feel free to taste and snack on foods you recognize!
Do not remove any plants unless prior permission from GOFM staff has been given
If you use tools, put them back once you’re finished.
Leave no trash behind.
If you see something unsafe in the garden, notify GOFM staff immediately at ygp@gofarmersmarket.com.
Ask us for help if you have ideas for a lesson plan, if you feel stuck or if you want to know more about anything you see in the garden! Email us at ygp@gofarmersmarket.com
