Cielo in Spanish means heaven.  We see that this garden represents a little piece of heaven on earth.  As an acronym C.I.E.L.O. stands for Community, Interfaith, Education, Literacy & Opportunities.   It began as a joint project between House of Prayer Lutheran, Catholic Charities, and Northside ISD Adult Education with support from University of Incarnate Word’s Interfaith Council, Green Spaces Alliance South Texas and others to provide gardening opportunities for recently resettled refugees. 

 

If you are interested in a plot or volunteering in the garden please contact the church office.

Our Mission and Vision for the garden

Our Mission is to promote food security using sustainable organic gardening, while also providing opportunities to grow in leadership and economic growth and enjoy being in nature to promote mental health.

 

Our Vision is to be a place where people can come together and grow healthy, organic produce; and to celebrate the diversity of our community across ages, backgrounds, religions and cultures.
