Community Outreach

We participate in major gardening events throughout the year and often sell the plants that we propagate and grow.

SAWS Spring Bloom (March)

Garden Center Plant Sale (March)

Festival of Flowers (May)

Top Tomato Contest (June)

Mitchell Lake Hoot n Harvest Festival (October)

Service projects involving our volunteers:

  • Gardens, Warrior and Family Support Center, Brooke Army Medical Center
  • Haven for Hope vegetable garden

Neighborhood Fairs

GVST will come to your neighborhood for a Saturday morning Neighborhood Landscape Fair, presented in partnership with San Antonio Water System.

We bring lots of information about watersaving landscaping and gardening, drought-tolerant plants and latest rebate and coupon programs offered by SAWS.  Other activities are often offered, such as “Ask the Expert”, tool sharpening and, based on availability, drought-tolerant plant sales.

Neighborhood Landscape Fairs are coordinated through Homeowner, Neighborhood and Property Owner Associations.
