Promise of Peace Garden is located on Grand in East Dallas and provides a sanctuary for children and families in the Woodrow Wilson High School area through a host of programs that bring access and sustainability through the gardens. Some of the programs include free summer day camps and a junior master gardner program.
You may find the produce grown by Promise of Peace at Urban Acres.
Promise of Peace has provided so much for the local community and now they need your help. Just moments ago Chef Blythe Beck told me about an emergency situation where the garden needs to raise an immediate $2000 or face eviction August 1, 2012.
A fundraiser is in the works, but until then you can go to the website and make a fast and easy donation to keep this wonderful program in place.
