José has 19 community gardens located throughout the
city. These year-round gardens are managed by volunteer
staff and offer an opportunity for San José residents to
have their own garden plot. Plots range from 10'x10'
to 20'x30' depending on
the garden, and are assigned on a first come, first
served basis. All gardens have an annual water fee. |
