Deep Eddy Community Garden was founded in 1983, as a means to promote responsible gardening and stewardship of the earth. It encourages and teaches organic gardening, promoting not only a space to grow fresh produce, but habitat for flora and fauna, including several species of squirrels, birds, snakes and other native creatures. Gardeners are a vibrant community who grow a wide variety of produce for their families and the Austin community. Stewardship of this treasured space is a key element of our mission. 

Deep Eddy Community Garden (DECG) is the second oldest community garden in Austin boasts rich, fertile soil due to deep river silt from past flooding. Located in Eilers Park, on the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail, be sure to stop by while passing to see nature at its finest.

We aim to provide an accessible, equitable, and functional space for long term sustainability of the Deep Eddy garden, and it?s current and future community projects for generations.
