The Garden Shop

The financial well-being of Gardopia Gardens is a high priority, and as such, the agency takes ample strides in diversifying its revenue streams apart from grants and donations.

In the fall of 2021, the nonprofit was gifted a stable wooden frame by the Howard Family. Through support from the Cook Family Foundation, volunteers were able to relocate the 15x15 frame to Gardopia Gardens and begin construction on the Garden Shop.

With the additional support from San Antonio for Growth on the Eastside, the organization began insulating, covering, and constructing the interior and exterior of the Garden Shop, allowing for ADA accessibility and building a brand new stage.

This Garden Shop is now a retail location for the nonprofit to sell plants, fertilizers, books, garden apparel, worms, irrigation equipment, and more!

The Garden Shop enhances the ability of the organization to meet the need of Near-Eastside inner-city nursery!
