Native Plants at UU Fellowship of Galveston County
Welcome to our Garden!
We are delighted to have you explore the gardens at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Galveston County. Our grounds are more than just a landscape; they are a living testament to our respect for the interdependent web of all existence.
By prioritizing Native Texas Plants, we support local pollinators, conserve water, and celebrate the natural beauty of the Gulf Coast.
