Grow Food LocallyWe grow a diverse assortment of fruit trees and vegetables year round, using organic gardening methods. We have been building our healthy soil since 2004 using our own compost. The work is done individually as well as collectively. At harvest time, we share our surplus fruits and vegetables with neighbors and the local community. Sharing plants, seeds, and produce is a main component of this community garden.

Build CommunityEnvision the Garden being here for the Community in years to come. As gardeners we steward this land and hold the space for what is ahead. We don’t own this land, we’re here to help protect it, nourish the soil, the plants, and creatures drawn to it, the communities of people, plants and animals that are interconnected. It is a green oasis in the middle of an urban neighborhood, a unique Community gathering spot that welcomes all.
