Welcome

The PPC Team is composed of board members who are volunteers and support the mission. They lend their expertise to the garden project and programs.
The People/Plant Connecton was formed in 2009. They have a horticulture program at the local drug and alcohol rehab facility. Teaching youth about growing their own food, helping the environment and preserving wildlife habitats is accomplished in their Youth Gardening Classes. The Adult Gardening Classes are taught by local professionals so home gardeners can get the most from their gardens and landscapes. To help raise money for the garden projects the PPC also offers Adult Art Classes.
The mission of The People/Plant Connection is to bring the joy of gardening to people of all ages and abilities through building an educational garden at the Angelo West Branch Library.
