Demonstration Garden at Heritage Park
The Demonstration Garden at Heritage Park, located at 771 North Rengstorff Avenue, is a true Community Garden that is operated by Soil&Water, a non-profit volunteer-led organization. Unlike other plot-based gardens in Mountain View, the garden at Heritage Park is a shared urban garden.
Soil&Water, along with volunteers and the community, create the space and share its harvest. Community events and learning opportunities will take place throughout the year led by Soil&Water.
Please contact Soil&Water at soilandwatergarden@gmail.com to join or learn more about opportunities. You may also visit the Soil&Water website or visit the Soil&Water Facebook page.
