Join us for a special Farm Volunteer Day as we transition from spring to summer crops! We're inviting volunteers to help us lead this big day of hands-on action-prepping beds, planting summer veggies, harvesting late spring crops, transplanting seedlings and refreshing the space for the new season. We donate all the food grown!
Your energy will make a huge impact in getting the farm ready for summer abundance. Come ready to get your hands in the soil, work alongside our community, and help guide new volunteers through the day.
Location: Walk down the left driveway of 2033 Virginia Avenue, Santa Monica, CA 90404, to reach the farm in the back.
Important Note: We recommend parking at Virginia Avenue Park or using metered parking on Pico Blvd. Please do not use or park in the driveway of 2033 Virginia Ave. So we can respect the privacy of the residents by leaving the driveway clear for their use.
Additional Details:
- Children are welcome with their caretakers.
- Teen drop-off is possible with prior arrangement.
- Wear closed-toe shoes, long pants, and bring your smile!
- Restrooms and additional parking are available across the street at Virginia Avenue Park.

About Growing Hope Gardens
Location:
2033 Virginia Avenue, Santa Monica, CA 90404, US
Mission Statement
We create and support onsite, organic, regenerative and food gardens with residents of affordable housing and homeless shelters.
Description
Since 2019, and in partnership with Community Corporation of Santa Monica , Safe Place for Youth, Holos Communities and The People Concern , Growing Hope Gardens successfully opened and expanded 15 urban, organic, regenerative resident food gardens and fruit trees, and a 1/4 acre farm, at distinct affordable housing and homeless shelter properties in Los Angeles County
All of the resident food gardens are supported with our bi-monthly maintenance visits, with the goals of helping the gardens thrive and, increasing onsite resident knowledge and stewardship. This approach maximizes chances of success at growing food and supports resident engagement.
Educational signage informing how harvest, care, nutritional content, and suggested use is placed each season in the gardens. We also support the increase in plant-based knowledge with our online portal.
