Ocean Friendly Gardens with Surfrider Foundation Galveston Chapter

The Ocean Needs More Friends... In Your Gardens! 🌊🌿

Join us for this month's Surfrider gathering from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM and discover how your garden can make a positive impact on our local environment.

🌱 Hear from Cat Schulz, our very own Frogfruit Fairy, as she shares tips on cultivating an Ocean Friendly (Native Plant) Garden. She'll even be bringing frogfruit starter strands to help you begin your own garden journey, plus a few Mosquito Bucket starter kits for lucky Surfrider community members to take home!

🥕 Meet Keaton, Gardens Director for Groundswell, who manages the Young Gardeners Program on GISD campuses and the Victory Gardens Project. These incredible programs provide our island community with thousands of pounds of fresh, local produce each year.

🌼 Learn about Surfrider's Ocean Friendly Garden Program, take a tour of one of Groundswell's community gardens at Oppe Elementary (located next door to DRIFT Poolside Kitchen & Bar), and hear from local members about how they're creating impactful garden spaces of their own.

🌿 No yard? No problem! Container gardens count, too.

✨ Plus, be the first to hear about our first community Ocean Friendly Garden project launching in 2027 and learn how you can get involved.

Whether you're an experienced gardener or just getting started, there's a place for you in this growing movement.
