Nestled behind Lamar Boulevard on six lush acres near Hyde Park, the Sunshine Gardens site is home to over 350 tended plots, where young and old gardeners from all over Austin grow a diverse array of flowers, vegetables, and herbs. The all-organic garden plots, which rent for $70 a year, are tenant-maintained but overseen by Austin Community Gardens, a pioneering community gardening group which set down roots in Austin in 1975.
