Many of us wish we could grow our own vegetables but may not have a place to grow or the know-how. The Elk Grove Community Garden and Learning Center is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization devoted to providing just the place where individuals and families can successfully grow fresh, healthy produce and to socialize with other gardeners. The garden is run by a board of community volunteers that love to garden. In addition to growing plots, a variety of classes in gardening are offered throughout the year. |

The Community Garden also has small demonstration gardens with roses, fruit trees, table grapes and berries. The Elk Grove Community Garden is located at 10025 Hampton Oak Drive on the corner of Hampton Oak Drive and Iron Rock Way in Hampton Village.

There are eighty-four 4'x16' wooden raised beds plus ten 24" high ADA plots with sidewalk access for community members with disabilities. We provide expert gardening advice from Master Gardeners and garden experts plus hands-on experience.

Gardeners at the EGCG are encouraged to use organic fertilizers, and to limit the use of pesticides and herbicides. Members are also encouraged to donate excess produce to the local food bank or to adopt a plot devoted to growing produce for the Elk Grove Food Bank. Garden plots are rented out for $36 per year plus a commitment of 12 volunteer hours to overall garden improvement. Come join us. For more information call 916-479-3825. |
