Local News - Urban Gardening Coalition Breaks New Ground

Over the next few months 2 acres of land in East Waco will be transformed into a training farm. The Heart of Texas Urban Gardening Coalition (HOT UGC) launched this new project on July 9th, and will be providing paid internships that equip young people between the ages of 15 and 20 with both agricultural and entrepreneurial skills. The farm will help fill a need for local food sources and economic development, says HOT UGC. KWBU's Becky Fogel joined a crowd under the hot Texas sun for the groundbreaking ceremony.
