Elizabeth Dry has served as a classroom Teacher, Principal, and assistant Director of Curriculum for the state of Texas. She is now the founder and director of the Promise of Peace Gardens. 

Elizabeth began the Promise of Peace, (P.O.P.), Gardens non-profit in the summer of 2009 where over 500 volunteers came together and transformed a vacant lot on East Grand Ave. in Dallas, Texas into a thriving garden. She felt privileged to witness humanitarian acts that united and transformed people and their communities as folks from all backgrounds gathered in the garden. 

Since then, P.O.P., has established and sustained over 15 food farms in Dallas, Texas, and three in Mineola, Texas. Through award winning, educational programs more than 5,500 families have been impacted with farm to fork experiences that have changed the way they look at food, community members and our planet. It has been an amazing journey for her!

Now, Elizabeth has relocated to Mineola, Texas where she continues connecting the dots, lifting up farmers and teaching the Earth to Table cycle as her nonprofit , Promise of Peace Gardens creates food justice.
