Travis Scott's unveiling of Cactus Jack Gardens was a family affair.
The Houston rapper was joined Wednesday morning by his grandmother "Miss" Sealie, mother Wanda Webster and sister Jordan Webster at Young Elementary School to introduce the collaborative effort between HISD and Scott's Cactus Jack Foundation. Cactus Jack Gardens will introduce students to learning related to agriculture, food, nutrition and entrepreneurship.

Daughter Stormi Webster made a late appearance, carried in by her father for some family photos. (Media was not allowed to photograph her.) This was one of many events leading up to Friday and Saturday's Astroworld Festival at NRG Park.
A picturesque gazebo included the nameplate Miss Sealie's Corner. Scott dedicated the garden to his grandmother, who joined him for the ribbon cutting in front of family, friends and school officials.
"We grew up not too far from here on Rosehaven. She used to have a garden in her backyard that looked similar to this. She might still have it back there. All she did was make flowers for people around the neighborhood. She probably did hair back there, too," Scott said.
“这有点疯狂,我们能够把它带到小学,让孩子们在我还是个孩子的时候拥有同样的经历。我只是喜欢看到这个社区长大并进入一个非常好的地方,这是这些孩子的超级安全和创造性的环境。“
Scott planted trees with several students amid the rows of boxes that were already sprouting. Miss Sealie called the dedication to her "a great surprise." Scott's sister Jordan Webster read to several kindergarteners and said the event was "a historical moment."
Before the unveiling, Scott addressed a cafeteria full of excited kids with some word of encouragement.
"Where you are right now is not the end all, be all. You have a future to come. Maybe when y'all get older this all might be something you understand. I love you guys so much," Scott said. "Let's make some amazing things."
