The Oakhurst Community Garden teaches environmental awareness to diverse local students through hands-on gardening and outdoor education programs. We are dedicated to empowering young people to become the next generation of environmental stewards by engaging in projects that address real needs. Respect for the earth and each other underlies all our efforts. By teaching about wellness, teamwork, and conservation, we hope to empower youth to take charge of their own health, as well as that of the environment.

Our mission is 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.
