"A garden is the best alternative therapy." Germaine Greer
"All through the long winter, I dream of my garden. On the first day of spring, I dig my fingers deep into the soft earth. I can feel its energy, and my spirits soar." Helen Hayes

San
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.

gardeners grow everything organically, from vegetables and herbs
to flowers and fruit. Please note, there is an application process
and many times a waiting list for some of our gardens.
