The Santa Ana People’s Garden is an organic community garden with available, individual plots!

This is the first community garden in Santa Ana and welcomes all who are interested in gardening and community building; regardless of religious beliefs, age, race or political positions. It is for everyone to share knowledge to grow pure organic fruits and veggies.

We are in need of funds to make our garden even more beautiful by creating a mural that depicts the community’s diversity and commitment to an enriched healthy living by “growing what we eat”.

Thank you for your support and continued commitment to the Santa Ana People’s community garden.
