Sunshine Community Gardens

If you have never been here, you HAVE to go! There are hundreds of plants in various stages of growth. There is always some friendly gardener there ready, willing and mostly able to answer your questions. They have community compost from all the growers clippings, who then get some when everything is ready. Everything is organic. And huge! I so wish that my garden was half as nice as the worst garden there. My sister and I love to visit. Take a hat and wear it because there is very little shade. They have chickens that are partially fed on the insects pulled off of the plants, slugs and snails and doodle bugs dug out of the soil. Fat happy chickens. It is a really wonderful experience to see the variety of plants grown. Take your well behaved children. Show them where their food comes from. Take your dog (I did). Just, please, be respectful. These gardeners have put in a lot of time, money and sweat equity to grow their plants on their individual plots. Don't pick the plants. The food is not yours. Nor the gorgeous flowers. Walk only on the paths. And if someone is working, perhaps that is not the best time to ask questions. We are fortunate that they share their gardens with us. Thank you.

My best friend is part of this community garden. It's a really unique garden located in the middle of the city. Pretty cool concept, I wish more cities did this.

I've been going to their Spring Plant Sale for at least 8 years now. They never disappoint! They always have a huge selection of tomatoes and peppers and a great variety of eggplant and herbs and a good variety of tomatillos! This year was super crowded, so I left a little early than usual. More for everybody else!

This place has a lot of plants and has very nice people! They asked what type of things I enjoy and want to do in life, because I'm a pretty young person, The place also has chickens as well which can be great if you like animals as well, Not too sure if you can buy them though. Anyway this place is awesome and make sure to get some water as well!

This yearly event is great! We love supporting the Sunshine Community Garden. The plants we bought are thriving and already producing.

Beautiful Community Garden, great deals on plant and volunteer opportunities

I bring my kitchen compost here. It's a great option for a person like me, living in an apartment with no garden to compost. The gardens are beautiful. What a great community project
