Planting Gardens Together Palo Alto - Community Gardens

Scattered throughout Palo Alto are plots of land dedicated to providing Palo Altans with a place to dig their hands into the soil and plant vegetables, flowers, and herbs.  These gardens provide the following benefits: less reliance on commercially grown produce; reducing greenhouse gas emissions resulting from food transport; a focal point for community gathering and interaction; and increased physical activity.  Contact: Catherine Bourquin at catherine.bourquin@cityofpaloalto.org.

These plots are often oversubscribed so make your desires known to the City of Palo Alto. They want to hear from you about what you’d like to see in your neighborhood park.
