Rotary Innovates the Garden!

Join the Rotary Club of Houston's satellite club, the Rotary Club of Innovation as we "Innovate the Garden!"

Blodgett Urban Garden "BUG" is committed to alleviating food insecurity and improving nutrition in the 3rd Ward, an area classified by the USDA as a "food desert". The Rotary Club of Innovation has partnered with “BUG” to maintain the garden every last Saturday morning of the month! After gardening, we meet for an optional dinner at a locally-owned restaurant.
