Dr. June Holly Leadership Houston Learning Pavilion

Class XXVIII demonstrated unity early on by establishing collective agreement on their class project, rather than following a competitive process. The result was assistance with the development of the new Westbury Community Garden, featuring the Dr. June Holly Leadership Houston Learning Pavilion. The Pavilion was funded entirely by Class XXVIII efforts and contributions and is the cornerstone of the community garden. It serves as a memorial dedicated to Dr. Holly as one of the founders of Leadership Houston, who passed away in October 2009 during Class XXVIII’s program. The facility is used as an outdoor classroom to educate children about organic foods, healthy eating, nutrition, healthcare, and diet. The community garden provides Westbury residents with an opportunity and option to grow and sustain fresh produce for their neighborhood and families within the community. The community's elementary school has committed to serve as a partner and use the garden as a learning laboratory. Visit the garden at 12500 Dunlap.
