One plot. Many hands. Shared harvest.
Located opposite the Nursery entrance on Oregon Street, behind the storefronts on Sacramento Street.
Not your typical community garden.
The Spiral Gardens Community Farm is one big plot for everyone to plant and work on together.
The Farm is dedicated to food production — and unlike our Nursery, this food is not for sale. The harvest is shared between volunteer growers, low-income senior residents in the adjacent apartments, and other neighborhood folks who need it.
We also test-plant many new varieties of food plants to determine their productivity in our area — so you know what will thrive at home.
Come get your hands dirty.
Anyone is welcome to volunteer, gain skills and share in the harvest. Volunteering is drop-in — no sign-up required.

The Produce Stand.
For about a decade we ran a produce stand with the Ecology Center’s Farm Fresh Choice program, selling fresh produce at cost directly from local farms.
It became a dependable source of food for the community and helped us share excess produce with our senior neighbors. We’ve paused it to focus on doing our other programs even better.
See you Sunday!
Drop in on any clear-weather Sunday from 1–5pm — no experience needed.
