Cultivating Life
 

Our Vision

The Oakhurst Community Garden Project (OCGP) actively engages youth, families, and individuals in their environment, health, and community through organized programs, classes, and events that develop creative skills in sustainable urban living, organic gardening, health and nutrition. The OCGP serves as community garden, nature center, neighborhood meeting space, and wildlife habitat that is open for all to experience the potential of urban greenspace. The Garden is a model that provides the resources for people to take home and apply the lessons they learn here in other arenas of their lives.

Our Values

  • We believe that we should honor the land by remaining conscious of how we impact the environment in which we live. By embracing sustainable living and organic practices we strive to be good environmental stewards.
  • We believe in encouraging a healthy lifestyle by nurturing the mind, body and soul.
  • We believe that education is the key to creating a change in human behavior and our approach to how we impact the environment. We embrace life-long learning and feel that proactive outreach is critical to creating social change.
  • We believe that we must embrace community engagement and be receptive to the needs of the community. Our organization exists due to cooperation between the people that live, work, and play within our community.
  • We believe in equal access and inclusion for people of all economic, ethnic, religious, generational, lifestyle, and ability groups.
Our Mission

To cultivate vibrant greenspace and inspire a community of environmental stewards.

Sunup to sundown, the Oakhurst Community Garden is open to all, free of charge.
