Community Gardens

Community gardens are a place for folks to come together and grow food. They are a wonderful way to meet new people, get your hands in the soil and eat good food.

Butte County has a number of Community Gardens around the county. We run or are supporting some of them, others are run by other groups. We encourage all to support and partake in the adventure of growing food together
