Share the Harvest

The volunteer gardeners use their gardening skills to grow fresh produce to donate to the local food pantry every Saturday.  Over 27,000 pounds of fresh produce have been donated since the gardens were founded in 1998 for families in need.   

Adopt a Plot

Individuals and organizations can adopt a raised garden bed to grow vegetables and fruits.  The gardeners provide the labor and attention required to have a successful garden.  There is a total of 100 plots between the two community gardens.    

Community Organics Recycling Education

Both community gardens are a site for the composting education.  Master Composters work the compost bins weekly to reduce organic matter and recycle it into a valuable soil amendment.

Coppell Farmers Market

Supporting local agriculture by providing a farmers market as a venue for farmers to sell fresh produce and the community to buy local foods.


Community Service

Many youth and organizations come to the gardens to do Service Learning Projects and Community Service.  Some projects have been to redesign the raised beds, pavestone paths, border plantings, and the installation of a Texas Smartscape demonstration.

The City's logo design is based on Coppell's rich history and heritage.  The logo includes crossed post oak branches, three stars and the date the town was first called Coppell.  The letter-forms are derived from late 19th-century type with the word "Coppell" customized for a softer, friendlier feel.  The post oak branches, resembling old line engravings, give the logo its foundation.  The crossed arrangement symbolizes unity and solidity.  The post oak tree was selected because of its dominance at Grapevine Springs Park (a historical landmark), its size and longevity and the fact that the wood was used as ties by the railroad.  Many claim the railroad put Coppell on the map.  The three stars are reminders of three important names associated with the history of the community, Grapevine Springs, Gibbs Station and, of course, Coppell.
