MISSION
The Emerson Avenue Community Garden is a group of enthusiastic volunteers dedicated to developing and maintaining one acre of a sustainable, organic food garden and green space for educational purposes and community enjoyment. The community garden resides in the friendly neighborhood of Westchester within the Orville Wright Middle School campus at the southwest corner of Emerson Avenue and 80th Place.
IMPACT
Community gardens are a vital cog in the machinery of healthy, vibrant neighborhoods. They provide a tangible and hopeful sign of renewal, and the potential for growth given the right mix of intention, energy, and nurturing.
The garden is a continuous, ongoing project that depends on the combined efforts of its members and volunteers. Its success relies on community involvement. EACGC provides educational activities in gardening and food preservation, such as Seed Saving with Girl Scouts, Gardening for Orville Wright students, Canning, Beekeeping, Soil Testing, Cover Crops for Soil Building, Composting, Edible Landscaping, Grow LA Victory Garden Initiative Classes, and more. EACGC sponsors and participates in many community events, including the parade on July 4th, and WAM Block Party,
