Collective Roots maintains the only community garden in East Palo Alto at our office on Woodland Ave. The Center for Urban Agriculture includes a half acre demonstration farm and a community garden with 16 plots. Email the Backyard Gardener Network Team at BGN@collectiveroots.org if you’d like to join!

In addition to the community garden at the Center for Urban Agriculture, Collective Roots helps support multiple gardens at community partner sites around East Palo Alto, including Ravenswood Family Health Center, Free at Last (a residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation program), and Runnymede Gardens (a low-income senior apartment complex).

Interested in volunteering to help support and maintain these bountiful community gardens? Check out our volunteer information and submit a volunteer application online.
