A 1200 sq ft area within Juilliard Park (the first no-spray sustainable park in Santa Rosa) will be developed as a community garden where vegetables, medicinal herbs, and native plants will be grown. Garden plots will be available where neighbors can grow their own food.

The South Park Kids Garden was started by Sustainable Futures in 2000 as part of a larger community garden, on a 1/2 acre site owned by the Community Baptist Church. Since 2004 the community garden has sold vegetables at our local farmers market under the Kids Own Grown label.

Several group homes and long term housing projects for mentally ill adults, managed by the Community Support Network, have developed small vegetable gardens of their own. These gardens provide fresh organically grown produce for the residents as well as a nature-based therapeutic environment.

Harvest for the Hungry Garden is proud to support projects locally and abroad
that promote organic and sustainable gardening practices
as they empower participants to grow their own food.
