Getting dirty with community gardens

Interested in getting dirty? Want access to affordable local produce? Join our Community Garden!

Gardening is a great form of exercise and has been proven to improve health outcomes – including reducing cholesterol and blood pressure. It can also help you meet your neighbors!

Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas is committed to building community gardens in every unincorporated area in the Second District. The first Florence Firestone Community Garden meeting in August was a collaboration with the LA Community Garden Council and a success with over 28 attendees.  The next meeting will be at the Florence-Firestone Community Service Center at 10am on Saturday, September 10, 2011.  For more information about how to participate click here.
