Ocean Beach Community Garden
In the late 1970s, the Ocean Beach Community Garden was planted. Roots of stewardship and community began to flourish when layers of kelp replaced mounds of asphalt. Likeminded Ocean Beach residents knew that protecting Mother Earth rested at the center of life. In a manner of collective transformation, the garden started to grow roots that continue to mature four decades later. Today, 50 organic gardeners cultivate organically grown vegetables, fruit and flowers for personal consumption and to share with the local community. The garden is a space for empowerment and education, and thus, a fulfillment of practicing, cultivating, building, inspiring and educating ourselves and our community.
The Ocean Beach Community Garden is located in the heart of Ocean Beach, San Diego.

Open Garden Day Children’s Activities
Monthly Children’s Activities: We love to see children in the garden - whether it be planting pollinator seeds, painting dried seed pods or engaging in scavenger hunts!
Children are invited to OBCG to enjoy a variety of garden activities. Several engaging activities will be available for children and an accompanying adult(s). All activities will be self-guided with all materials provided. Just come between 10am-12:00pm ready for fun in a community garden environment. Hope to see you soon at the garden!
