On September 6th, we are partnering with Rebel Marketplace to do a Big Green Bus pop-up at their Saturday market. Stop by the Town Center at Aurora from 10am to 2pm to shop local vendors, support our community, and visit the Big Green Bus!
The bus started its journey from Mt. Pleasant, TX to be built out and turn into a big, green, garden machine! Special thanks to Phoenix Skool Buses, Ver Sands, and AAA Buses for helping us get rolling!

Check out the highlights from an unforgettable weekend in San Antonio!
A huge thank you to everyone we met this weekend for the fun, food, and friendship! We spent Saturday morning with the amazing San Antonio Million Gardens Project trying everyone’s favorite garden-to-table recipes. They were all delicious, but we’re STILL thinking about Nora’s crunchy collard wraps – YUM. After we said goodbye, we rolled on over to our favorite east side oasis, Gardopia Gardens! There we joined new and old friends for music, giveaways, food, and gardening! Big Green gave away hundreds of garden kits, most of them to new growers, and Gardopia sent hundreds of fruit trees and vines off to happy new homes. We can’t say enough good things about this weekend, but we can say we’ll be back!

We can think of no better way to spend a Saturday morning than at Black Seeds Urban Farms and their “farmily!”
The Big Green Bus pulled up to Black Seeds, a picture-perfect urban farm perched on a hill in the Greenlaw community, to join them for a pop-up farmers market, live podcast, and cooking demo! We gave away garden kits, cuddled some chickens, and drank way too much fresh iced tea!
