• Coppell Community Garden - An award winning community program where volunteers use their gardening skills to grow produce for a local food pantry, and the gardens provide environmental education to all ages.
• Community Organics Recycling Education - Seminars, classes, hands-on workshops, and demonstration sites at the Coppell Community Garden trains Master Composters, teachers, students, and the public on recycling yard trimmings through composting.
