Mission Statement
The College Area Community Garden is an organic garden devoted to growing healthy food, creating fellowship among and between neighbors and the San Diego State University community, teaching and conducting research on the principles of sustainable urban agriculture, and distributing gardening information to, and producing food for, our garden members and participants from the general community.
Description
The College Area Community Garden began 11 years ago, transforming abandoned land into a thriving garden. Through partnerships and dedicated volunteers, we've achieved remarkable progress. Despite COVID-19 challenges, we're determined to advance our mission. We've launched programs like cooperative growing to address food insecurity by utilizing underutilized land. We also provide our produce to food-insecure students and marginalized individuals. Inspiring the next generation, we're developing a 3-week horticulture program for teens, combining volunteering with valuable education from industry leaders. Together, we're making a lasting impact on our community.
