History
Established in 2010.
The Promise of Peace garden began with one person with one crazy idea. Elizabeth Dry had a vision of bringing underprivileged children of Old East Dallas out into nature and teaching them the basics of growing their own food. This grew into a much broader vision of reducing the local drop out rate and reducing the rate of teen pregnancy by hosting classes and community events for the children. The garden is now a gathering place for people of all socioeconomic backgrounds. We can’t wait to see what the future holds.
