Festival Beach Food Forest
A pioneering project in East Austin that has transformed two-thirds of an acre of city parkland into a lush, edible landscape—open for anyone to forage, learn, and connect with nature. Guided by the mission of growing edible forest gardens on public land that nourish, educate and inspire, this volunteer-led effort is reimagining what public land can be. Through hands-on learning, ecological restoration, and community care, the project empowers people to build a deeper, more reciprocal relationship with the land.

Friends of Grand Meadow Park
A vibrant community group in Southeast Austin transforming a long-neglected public park into a hub for food, education, and environmental connection. Inspired by Festival Beach Food Forest, neighbors came together to envision a food forest and community garden rooted in local leadership and ecological care. With support from Fruitful Commons, they’ve formed a volunteer coalition, completed a concept plan with Austin Parks Foundation, and are now preparing to break ground on a growing, green future for their neighborhood. See the full Grand Meadow Park concept plan at Austin Parks and Recreation.
Central Texas Seed Savers
A regional network preserving the biodiversity and resilience of our local food system by collecting, saving, and sharing seeds that are well-suited to Central Texas’ climate. Through public seed swaps, educational workshops, and community seed libraries, the project promotes food sovereignty, cultural preservation, and ecological stewardship. With support from Fruitful Commons, they are expanding their outreach and infrastructure to ensure that locally-adapted seeds remain in the hands of the people who grow and share them.
