Who We Are

Blodgett Urban Garden is an organization based out of Houston, that is located across from Texas Southern University, a historically black college or university (HBCU). We work with the following areas in Houston: 3rd Ward, South Park, the Medical Center, Cuney Homes, University of Houston, Texas Southern University, and HCC - which includes over 21000 residents or 9,500 households in the community, with 46% being low income and 37% below poverty. We created BUG to fight these food insecurities and bridge the gap between access to a healthy lifestyle by providing food and teaching gardening and good nutrition. Through our programming and health initiatives, we aim to create a sustainable and healthy environment for all residents. Join us in making a positive impact in the community and helping to foster growth and development for future generations.
