Community Garden
Garden
We have more than 40 raised cedar beds, at various heights. While most are about 18″ high, a few are as tall as 30″ and are offered to gardeners with mobility challenges. We have in-ground seasonal water taps for easy watering, and a long row of fruit trees on the surrounding berm. We also have a beautiful wooden gazebo as a focal and gathering point, which is often used for shade, casual conversation, and outdoor music festivals and community events.
