Join TMF as we'll be clearing a half-acre portion of a community garden; specifically, clearing downed trees and overgrown brush. The garden has become overgrown and damaged due to the February 2021 freeze and inattention due to COVID. The tidied-up community garden will serve the Gulfton community and families of students.

Gulfton is Houston's most densely populated neighborhood with a large refugee and immigrant population. This garden is intended to become a multi-cultural community "oasis" and a source of food for the community.

Are materials & supplies needed? If so, what? 

• Plant it Forward has most of the equipment covered.
• Muscle and chainsaw/weedwhacker skills.
• A pickup truck with a trailer hitch and the ability to take the debris to the dump. 
• Work gloves
• Sunscreen/bug spray
• Outdoor working clothes with skin protection.
• Water/snacks

This project will honor the life and legacy of Medal of Honor Recipient Master Sergeant Raul Perez "Roy" Benavidez.  MSG Benavidez is the namesake of Benavidez Elementary. 

All volunteers are expected to adhere to local and federal COVID safety precautions.
