El Paseo Community Garden’s mission is to harness the skills of local residents to steward over an acre community-managed greenspace as an incubator for community care and leadership. El Paseo is a platform to share knowledge & resources around issues of health and sustainability. We grow community first which in turn allows for the community to harvest fresh, healthy food and more. El Paseo empowers through nature.
We are working towards capacity building for a more equitable and sustainable organization by developing opportunities for the community through food access, local jobs, knowledge sharing, and resources.
