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.
