Sonia’s Community Garden is located on the corner of E 1st St and C St, right in front of the Touber Building. This community garden has 9 garden beds that will be available for all members of the community: whether brand new to growing vegetables or flowers themselves, for those seeking food security for their families, or for longtime growers alike. Register for one or more bed(s) at the Sonia’s Garden for the 2024 growing season.

The registration fee is $35/ garden bed, which includes use through the entire 2024 growing season, and resources such as tools, soil, a gardener able to give guidance, and some seeds to get you started! Scholarships are also available! City of Salida scholarships will cover the cost of the garden bed, plus additional Recreation opportunities. If you have a family, or if you live alone, this opportunity will be a fun hands-on learning experience and access to growing fresh and local produce. We are really looking forward to a great turnout this season! 

Available: Full

Price: $0.00 - $35.00 Taxes waived

Notes: This opportunity provides the registrant one 8 x 4 raised bed for growing food crops and flowers. Community garden/ raised bed gardening connects people to their land, food, community and plants. Gardening teaches people about the plant life cycle, the local food systems, and healthy lifestyles. Water and basic tools provided by the City at the garden site. Get your seeds, and or transplants out! Let's see what we can do together! You will receive a separate email alerting you when the City has turned the water to the site on. There will also be several community workdays organized by Guidestone at the garden over the course of the growing season, so keep an eye and ear out for those messages. We hope to see you there to share our experiences, knowledge, and company!
