About the Garden:
Mercy Housing Lakefront, located in Austin, provides support and housing for individuals who would not otherwise be able to afford it. There, the Mercy Housing Garden partners with the Angelic Organics Learning Center, and has sold produce to neighbors via a weekly vegetable stand throughout the growing season.
Together with Mercy Housing Community, Mothers On A Mission28, Moms Demand Action, the garden will serve those that are traumatized by gun violence, domestic violence, and other traumas so they can begin to heal, hold each other ups, grow fruits, vegetables and flowers to share with each other.
