  • COMMUNITY GARDEN GRANT

    Austin Parks Foundation (APF) Programs Assistant John Rooney (center) presents APF’s $10,000 grant for a North Shoal Creek Neighborhood Community Garden during the Association’s January 10th membership meeting. Receiving the grant are Community Garden team members (left to right): Katie Kelly, NSCNA VP Sarah Brandon, NSCNA President Amelia Cobb, Kenneth Webb, and Beautification Committee Chair Mary Jane Wier.

    North Shoal Creek needs to match the Austin Parks Foundation grant with volunteer effort building the garden. So, volunteers are needed! To sign up as a NSC Community Garden volunteer, please email vp@nscna.org

    The survey is an important part of North Shoal Creek’s planning process. You’ll be shown around 30 photos of various kinds of buildings, and you decide if they’re appropriate for our neighborhood and, if so, which parts of the neighborhood they’d fit in. It’ll take about 15 minutes.

    Survey closes January 8, 2017.
