Promise of Peace Community Garden

May 3, 2013 By Talya Tate Boerner

During the month of May for each Grace Grits & Gardening candle sold, I am donating $1.00 to the Promise of Peace Community Garden in East Dallas.

Promise of Peace helps boost high school completion rates in East Dallas by promoting community involvement and healthy living through cooking classes, yoga and hands-on gardening.

On the first Saturday of every month, Promise of Peace hosts a local market with adult gardening classes and brunch. Tomorrow’s event will include grilled pizzas and fresh lemonade made with herbs from the garden. Check out the garden’s Facebook page and website for more information. 

Promise of Peace Community Garden

Promise of Peace is located at 7446 East Grand, Dallas, Texas 75214.

Grace Grits & Gardening soy-blended travel candle burns for approximately 20 hours and smells amazing….
$10.00 each with $1.00 donated to Promise of Peace during May, 2013!

Thank you!
