About the garden

The Mission. The mission of the Community Roots Garden is to: 

• grow a community of gardens at our church and by example in our neighborhood that yields healthy local produce; 

• sharing produce with neighbors and friends in need; empowering one another through learning, teaching, and cooperating to nourish ourselves justly, sustainably, and self sufficiently; and 

• restoring wellness to the land the human spirit and the community through our core commitments to hunger relief, sustainability and caring for the community.

The Team.  The garden is lead by a team that includes experienced volunteers as well as part-time community coordinators help keep the garden active.  Volunteers help keep the garden growing and tend to the soil.  We still continue inviting different collectives, groups, circles, and organizations to share space within the garden. Both of us are investing more time in continuing to create an intentional space that is for all communities including communities that have historically been marginalized.  This includes specific outreach to farmworker, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ communities.

The Culture.  When we work locally and collectively, towards having the right mindset needed for wholesome growth and connection with all people. All this happens in efforts to improve the entire ecosystem of our lives. Nothing is impossible, the so-called impossible just takes a little longer
