The leadership and volunteers at El Paseo Community Garden manage and maintain the garden on behalf of the community. Take a paseo or stroll through the space, rest at the benches provided, enjoy the natural habitats and public art, play board games at The Garden Table, take an educational forage walk through the permaculture site, or harvest from the marked free food beds right along the path.
Visit the garden and participate in any donation-based daily wellness programs and offerings. Get involved or volunteer during the public Stewardship Days every Sunday from 10 am to 2 pm.

Tours and Field Trips
Contact us to schedule a tour or field trip for your group at a sliding scale rate. We have a list of kids activities and topics to choose from our Kids Garden Days curriculum. However, monarch butterflies and honey bees are a favorite topic.
Reserve
The garden is maintained by donations. Reservations and site fees have become a great way to support our work and mission. We offer the opportunity to reserve an area on the garden on select days. Contact us to collaborate or reserve any area of the garden.
