Since 2007, Petaluma Bounty has helped to create five new community gardens around Petaluma, with two new gardens in the works for 2010. The first two community gardens also school garden plots and are located at the McKinley and McDowell Elementary Schools. You can see some early pictures of these gardens in our blog pages.
The third community garden is aptly located at La Tercera Park (which means “the Third” in Spanish) on the East side of Petaluma. The La Tercera Community Garden was a collaboration between Petaluma Bounty, the City of Petaluma and the “Take Back La Tercera Park” neighborhood group.
The fourth community garden is located on the campus of Miwok Valley Elementary School, on St. Francis Drive.
The fifth garden, at Petaluma City Hall, was created in collaboration with the City of Petaluma, Rebuilding Together Petaluma and Daily Acts, as part of the October 24th City Hall Relandscaping and Sheet Mulching day, in conjunction with the 350 Day of [Climate Change] Action.
