Our Mission
The mission of our organization is to bring the community of Morgan Hill together to reap the benefits of growing food in a social setting, while providing education on gardening, environmental sustainability, health, nutrition, and human welfare.
Our Roots
Founded by three passionate gardeners in 2009, the Morgan Hill Community Garden opened in October of 2010 at the original location on Butterfield Avenue. In our nine year tenancy, the garden grew to house more than 75 plots.
Understanding the City’s plans to build a fire station at the original location, the City found us a larger, permanent home at on Railroad Avenue. With the help of a grant from the Open Space Authority, we were able to develop and build current home, which we moved to in January of 2020. Our new location now houses more than 100 plots.
