“This event is about more than just planting,”said Chef Chris Williams, founder of Lucille's 1913. “It’s a chance for the community to come together, learn valuable gardening skills, and take an active role in improving the environment around them.”
Free and Family-Friendly Outdoor Experience
The Adopt-a-Bed initiative is designed to be accessible and engaging for participants of all ages. Families, individuals, and local organizations are all welcome to take part in this free event, which aligns with Fort Bend County’s broader commitment to community engagement and environmental sustainability.

Building on a Legacy of Community Gardening
Kendleton Farm has been the site of multiple community-focused initiatives, including the U-Pick Program. In Fall 2024, the county launched the Fall Weekly U-Pick Program at Bates Allen Park in Kendleton, providing local families the opportunity to harvest fresh collards, mustards, and radishes free of charge while addressing local food insecurity concerns. A key partner in both initiatives, Lucille’s 1913, has been at the forefront of combating hunger through community farming and food distribution efforts.

With food insecurity affecting over 34,000 children in Fort Bend County, according to data from Feeding America, events like Adopt-a-Bed Planting Days and the U-Pick Program play a crucial role in ensuring that fresh, healthy produce is accessible to all.

By participating in Adopt-a-Bed Planting Days, residents can directly contribute to Fort Bend County’s environmental efforts, strengthen community connections, and help create vibrant, sustainable community gardens.
