What to do with yourself?... that makes you feel better and also helps to keep the garden maintained! Join volunteers and know you are helping PHIG and your community!
Our vision is building PHIG into a community recognized resource with a sustainable demonstration garden, practicing water conservation, ecological sound principles, and training others in transforming their own neighborhoods and communities.
What was a community eyesore is being transformed into a natural and beautiful wildlife habitat that attracts birds, insects, bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, that is registered with the National Wildlife Federation, and is a waystation for migrating monarch butterflies as well as migratory birds.
- PHIG provides a living laboratory for all students, of all ages, including students at the Pleasant Hill Education Center and Contra Costa County Master Gardeners.
- To attract birds, butterflies, and insects with a year-around wildlife habitat.
- PHIG uses no pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers that degrade our air, soil, and water quality.
- PHIG is also simply a place to sit, relax and enjoy nature.

Description
Our vision is to build PHIG into a community recognized resource with a water conservation demonstration garden. A community eyesore is being transformed into a natural and beautiful wildlife habitat that attracts birds, beneficial insects, butterflies, and other pollinators.
Begun in 2007, PHIG provides a living laboratory for all students and specifically for students at the Pleasant Hill Education Center and Contra Costa County Master Gardeners. PHIG uses no pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers that degrade our soil, water, and air quality. PHIG is also simply a place to enjoy nature.
Community service and garden work parties help to maintain, renew and develop the garden. Join us in the garden or help us in other ways!
