Hey....  It's The 2020 Growing Season!

Hello Everyone,

With 43 raised beds, over 700 square feet of food bank growing area, and 7 fruit trees, you bet we are busy. COVID-19 is out and about, so practive your social distancing while at the gardens, and wash your hands. Choke points are the combination locks and the garden shed. Bring your own tools if you like this  year so you don't have to share, and wipe/wash your hands after touching the combination lock. Do what you need to do to protect yourself.

We checked with the city, county, and ourselves, and all have said stay open, it is good for us citizens to play in the dirt, just be caucious and wash your hands. 

All interested peoples who would like to help, contact Robbie at 909-486-8736.

This year the food bank beds will not be operating. Coordinating the harvesting and delivery with the Pandemic will be much to difficult.

Thank You Everyone from the past to current !
​Without you, our gardens would not be.

2012 POST
We are happy to announce that the spring of 2012 will be a huge step forward for Big Bear Valley's first community gardens. Fencing material has been purchased, and will be installed at snow melt. Approximately 12 raised beds will be installed also - meaning vegetable crops will be growing as the balance of the gardens is being constructed.

Our garden committee is currently working on raising "building money" so that we can complete all the growing beds and water needs. Our goal is to have all 47 raised beds, 750 square feet of food pantry growing beds, and the fruit orchard completed before July. Fundraising and donations are the focus right now, so keep your eyes and ears open for events happening this winter and spring.

Our "China Garden" Location

Next to CVS, on Fox Farm road, is the location of our first community garden site. It was naked and weed free at the time this photo was taken. The summer of 2012 will have this place hopping and growing. Full perimeter fence, entry gate, and people growing food. Very exciting!
