Gardopia Gardens is a food forest within a food desert with hope for the future all wrapped up in one.

Founder Stephen Hooper Lucke started Gardopia in 2015 to address health disparities in a high-crime corridor on the near-Eastside of San Antonio. Initially funded by the San Antonio Housing Authority (SAHA), Gardopia implemented crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) as a methodology to reduce crime around an abandoned lot. Working with SAHA, this community garden became San Antonio Texas' first "gardopia," or garden utopia, where neighbors grow their own food and transform their community. Gardopia Gardens is located just a mile or two East of downtown San Antonio Texas.
Gardopia is a place where the homeless and doctors work beside one another as gardeners. Young kids learn with smiles on their faces by getting dirty and working in the garden. There are a lot of quiet moments in the garden where you can have some time to think and share insights with one another.
Gardopia Gardens grassroots efforts transformed the once Vacant Lot on 619 N. New Braunfels into the vibrant Community Garden which serves as a communal gathering space for youth, families, and individuals. The gardens and message is expanding to another vacant lot, beginning the process of a community food forest in the middle of a food desert!
By becoming a member of Gardopia Gardens, you will help them expand their mission of bringing health and wellness to San Antonio and beyond.
