Rural Street Community Garden – Adopt-a-Plot Informational Session

Interested in growing your own food and being part of a shared community space? Join us for an informational session about the Adopt-a-Plot Program at Rural Street Community Garden.

The Adopt-a-Plot Program invites residents, neighbors, and workers in the Martindale-Brightwood community to participate in seasonal land stewardship by maintaining a personal garden plot while contributing to the overall care of the garden.

This program is open to all experience levels, whether you are a beginner or an experienced gardener. Participants will learn through hands-on growing, peer support, and shared knowledge throughout the season.
