Cultivating Community, One Seed at a Time

The Children's Legacy Garden

The Children's Legacy Garden in Forney, Texas, established by the Sharing the Love Foundation, serves as a vibrant community space where youth learn about agriculture, responsibility, and community service. Since its inception on March 20, 2021, the approximately 3,000 sq. ft. garden has produced over 3,000 pounds of fresh produce, benefiting local seniors, veterans, and underserved families.

Beyond cultivation, the garden hosts workshops that teach children essential gardening skills, promoting healthy eating and environmental stewardship. Recent enhancements include a toddler gardening area, a pumpkin patch, perennial flower beds with medicinal and native plants, fruit trees, a succulent garden, a rain barrel, and an outdoor kitchen and workstation. These additions aim to enrich the educational experience and foster a deeper connection between youth and nature.

The garden's success is a testament to the collective effort of volunteers, community members, and supporters who believe in nurturing the next generation through hands-on learning and service. As the garden continues to flourish, it stands as a beacon of hope and a model for community-driven initiatives that empower youth and address food insecurity.

PLANT A SEED

Free Classes for Kids: Planting Seeds of LOVE and LEARNING

At Sharing the Love Foundation’s Children’s Legacy Garden Workshop, kids dig into more than just dirt—they discover the joy of growth, giving, and community. Through hands-on activities, children learn how to plant, nurture, and harvest fresh produce, all while building confidence and teamwork. It’s not just about gardening; it’s about planting the seeds of compassion and responsibility.

Each session ties nature to life lessons, showing young gardeners how their efforts can feed families and beautify neighborhoods. With guidance from volunteers and local experts, kids explore everything from composting to creativity with garden crafts. The garden becomes a classroom without walls, where curiosity blooms and kindness grows.

Best of all, the produce they help grow supports local outreach, proving even the smallest hands can make a big impact. The Children's Legacy Garden Workshop is more than an event—it's a living, growing legacy of love in action.
