Our History - Trace Our Roots

On a cool, sunny Saturday morning in January of 2010, a group of 12 Pasadena citizens came together over a shared vision: to start a community garden. What was clear at the time was that:

    • There were no public community gardens in Pasadena.
    • There was a need and desire for community gardens in Pasadena.
    • There were many vacant properties in Pasadena that could serve as a community garden.
    • The City of Pasadena was on record as wanting community gardens.
    • It was up to us to take action — to organize and to create a community garden that would serve as a model for others who wished to create additional community gardens in neighborhoods throughout Pasadena.
