Acers Community Garden - Information

The Acers Community Garden was dedication to service on Sunday, March 21, 2010 at 1:00 PM with 22 plots of 4' x 24' size. By May, we had leased an of the first plots and added 19 plots more for a total of 41 plots. See the schematic diagram of the garden below.

Layout of the Garden

The Acers Community Garden is arrayed as 39 full-sized 4'x24' plots plus two 4'x12' plots.

Also a large common garden is located at the extreme south end of the garden. The common garden is used for larger-scale community projects where the leaders of the garden plan and plant a crop and the entire Acers Community Garden community share tending the crop. The crop produced is used for our food-bank donation as well as sharing produce with the people who tend the common crop.

About Our Name

We have dedicated this community garden to honor the Acers family, Maurice Acers, Ebby Halliday Acers and Effie Elizabeth Acers. We acknowledge and hope to honor a critical link in the chain of Dallas gardens. From 1986-89 Maurice Acers headed the Advisory Council of Communities Foundation of Texas and it was his far-sighted leadership that resulted in the Communities Foundation providing land on which the first Asian Garden was built. Since that time, Communities Foundation of Texas has provided other tracts for additional gardens.

Today, we are proud to honor the Acers family name with the dedication of this land which we know will continue and sustain a wonderful legacy of the family's generous support of our city, our neighborhoods and our church.

Do You Have To Be a Member of the Church To Adopt a Plot?

No! Anyone can adopt a plot who wants to participate in the community garden, become a part of the garden effort and donate a portion of their crop to community service.
