The mission of the Redondo Beach Community Gardens is to provide residents of Redondo Beach with a space to grow food, build community, reduce food insecurity, and practice sustainable and healthy living.
Volunteer your time and skills, whether it’s helping build & maintain the community garden, renting a garden plot, participating in the compost co-op, or attending a gardening workshop!
Improved nutrition, food access, and green space for folks of all ages in Redondo Beach — especially important for those living in apartments & condos.
Strengthened sense of community by fostering neighborly connections, intergenerational and intercultural exchange, and boosting mental health.
Reductions in environmental impacts via composting, eating locally-grown food, and sequestering carbon through building healthy soil and growing fruit trees.
Part of our mission is to reduct food insecurity in our community. If you or anyone you know is experiencing food insecurity, please click on the button below to learn about available resources to help provide food and stability to local families.
The idea to start Redondo Beach’s first community garden united a group of passionate and determined community members with a shared interest in growing food and building community in the summer of 2020.
The community group soon connected with South Bay Parkland Conservancy and together advocated to the city council to establish a volunteer-run garden on city land. As of April 2022 we have received full approvals for our first garden at the southwest corner of Alta Vista Park. We are currently developing the garden space and will open to the community in June 2023.
