813 Hood Garden Space started 2026 with a beautiful gathering of gardeners and garden supporters at our first Community Dinner of the year.

20+ people came together to break bread, share their favorite dishes and be in community with each other.

Gardening is what brings us together at first but what keeps us coming back is the connections we build with our neighbors. 813 Hood Garden Space will continue to do just that in 2026 and cultivate spaces that nourishes our Mind, Body and Soul with food, skill-sharing, garden education and more. Will you be a part of our Garden community?

813 Hood Garden Space is now partnered with three other garden community spaces in East Tampa, Sulphur Springs and Jackson Heights to go where other Tampa gardeners are already gathering and to bring our programming to them. We offer youth garden education to kids in East Tampa and Sulphur Springs through our Young Seeds Program as well as the Community Food Ambassador Program to residents of the University Area. We also host social events like the Dinners (as mentioned above) and Wine Downs in Jackson Heights to create a space where gardeners of all levels can learn from each other and foster a rich gardening culture in Tampa. Your donation will help us continue this vital work of garden education and community building. Consider becoming a monthly supporter of 813 Hood Garden Space or making a one-time donation!

813 Hood Garden is a 501(c)3 organization and all donations are tax-deductible.
