The Santa Monica Community Garden Program was established in 1976 with the inception of the Main Street CG. With a total of 5 gardens, the program offers Santa Monica residents opportunities for active living and engagement in Urban Agriculture. These gardens serve as biodiverse habitats, promoting sustainable land stewardship, community composting, water conservation, and local food production, aligning with the city's goal of becoming a Sustainable City.

A source of community pride, the Community Gardens host monthly programs, workshops, and events that are free and open to the public. The therapeutic and energizing nature of the gardens encourages residents to participate in activities that support sustainability and community engagement. Residents can apply for rentable plots, with a focus on providing an avenue for collective learning and local food production.

Emphasizing the motto "Think Globally, Garden Locally," the Santa Monica Community Gardens foster a sense of environmental responsibility and connection to the Earth. By offering opportunities to "Get Dirty" and participate in hands-on gardening experiences, the program invites residents to actively contribute to a greener, more sustainable community. Please note that due to high demand, there may be a waiting period before securing a plot in these vibrant urban oases.
