Located right next to TSU, I was unaware this even existed. I came here for "1 day Houston" on 4/29. This is a day where tons of community service projects happen all across Houston all on the same day. It was a very large turnout of church groups, students, companies, organizations, and those just wanting to give back. The event was fairly organized. One side was helping to pull up all the weeds in order to plant new foods. The other side was transporting lumbar to eventually be able to build a fence. It was really nice to give back. Im hoping marginalized groups are able to access these resources. I look forward to learning more and donating more of my time here. read more

The Dow Chemical Company, Dow volunteers, UH-PROMES student volunteers, TSU and the Blodgett Urban Gardens leadership team all deserve a round of applause for a job well done. I came out for a day of service with my fellow volunteers and left with as much kale, carrots, and leaf lettuce an empty nester can eat. The weekly farmers market provides fresh vegetables to the community on a donation basis (take what you need, pay what you can afford). The gardens are well planned, well executed, and a joy to work in. read more

I love coming here. We put on volunteer events. Please be aware that TSU now owns and manages this property. They are expanding. They have markets on Saturdays from 8am - 1pm. The staff is so nice. If you are interested in volunteering they need help to keep the garden up. Help the community and give back and help the community eat fresh healthy and organic foods! read more

History

Established in 2014.

Blodgett Urban Gardens started out as a vision of a group of students at Texas Southern University back in 2012. They noticed that there were no adequate places to eat fresh healthy foods and they only sources of food were fast food chains and convenient stores. So the students got together and asked Texas Southern administrators if they could use a plot of land to build a community garden for the students. However unfortunately as students graduate or have changed interest the garden feel on to the wayside. It was not until a group of students who are currently running the garden made it into the oasis of fresh food it is today in the food desert of third ward.

Bring your children to visit the animals that are located in the back. Fresh goat cheese? They got it along with Goat yogurt, flower bouquets, fresh eggs, and all the goodies you can find at a farmers market. The owner is John, and we came across this place while taking a drive. My husband loves callalou (spinach like green popular in Jamaica) and he spotted it in the farm, came over and John greeted him very kindly. Although it was closed John invited my husband in to look around. So the next time you are in Galveston pay them a visit. You'll be glad you did.

Upon entering, we were greeted by a friendly staff member who explained the main exhibition and the rest of the center to us. There are great pieces of work from jewelry to pottery and more for sale by the resident artists. It was fun looking into the working studios and one of the artist invited us in and spoke to us about her work, inspirations, and previous studios. This perhaps was my favorite part of the visit. The space is not very big so it's perfect for a 1-2 hour visit. There's a pretty garden outside with picnic tables where you can enjoy a packed lunch.

I visited during a pop-up sticker event during their Soft Opening, and unfortunately they had a power outage so the drink menu was limited. I can't wait to come back to try their matcha and their coffee! (:

It was late in the day but the laidback decorated space was packed, music not too loud with a pleasant vibe. I asked if I could get the pistachio dream with oatmilk and the server recommended against it saying it would make the drink too sweet. I appreciated her honest advice and got the dragonfruit strawberry refresher instead. It was definitely refreshing with the perfect amount of ice to keep it cold but not water it down. I also tried one of the mini croissants which is probably what will keep me coming back. Flaky and full of high quality cheese and spices, I wish I had gotten two! I'll definitely come back at an earlier time since a lot of the pastries were sold out.

The iced pistachio latte continues to hit the spot and provides amazing pistachio flavor; there's absolutely no other substitute that I've found anywhere else.

I love how committed they are to the pistachio concept and I'm really looking forward to my next visit! - Ambiance: 5/5 (wish there was more seating available though) - Food: 5+/5 - Service: 5/5

To be honest I amazed with it place! It is very clean and big. Here I could find all that was necessary and all were with a good quality! In addition this place is situated near my home that makes me a constant client of it! Here you really can buy all. I have found meat of a rare fish! Vegetables here are always fresh. Really they care about it! As a result - 5 stars without doubt! read more
