We are a charity that operates three community donation gardens and a seedling greenhouse in Coppell, Texas. Our gardens are low cost, no bed fees and plants / nutrients provided. This allows those with limited budgets to enjoy a healthy recreational activity. Over 90% of our production is donated to a food bank. Since our founding in 1998 we have donated over 400,000 pounds of fresh produce to Metrocrest Services of Carrollton, Texas. In 2025, we were able to donate about 25,000 pound of produce due to 12,000+ volunteer hours from our 120+ gardening families operating 130+ garden beds. We believe the largest bed based donation garden in metro DFW.
Coppell Community Garden: Growing Community through Gardens that Give. Volunteer gardeners use their gardening skills to raise fresh, nutritious produce year-round to donate to the Metrocrest Services Food Pantry. Over 25,000 pounds of fresh produce is donated to Metrocrest Services Food Pantry annually with volunteers contributing thousands of hours to grow and harvest the produce. Gardeners learn about growing fruits and vegetables organically, cultivate their plots, and work together on community chores. You don't need to be an expert, just have an interest in organic vegetable gardening. Please find more information about us at http://coppellcommunitygarden.org
