Over the weekend, volunteers placed reclaimed clay tiles next to the I-45 overpass at the northern end of Downtown to create raised beds for a new city garden, Houston’s third. The garden is meant for employees of the city’s new permitting center at 1002 Washington — there’ll be one raised bed for each floor.

Good deal, I cleared space in my backyard for the same over the weekend. I wish them well Houston is a ***ch to grow anything in.
I am putting in a ‘urban garden’ in my back yard. Mainly for our stables — herbs & veggies.

I’m sure this permit center garden will do well. There is enough fertilizer in that building to last a lifetime.
