Welcome to Camarillo Community Gardens

The Camarillo Community Garden Project is a registered non-profit 501(c)3 grass-roots movement. We are people with a common commitment to the citizens of Camarillo.
Our goal is to empower our neighbors, to encourage them to take control of their own food supply, to enjoy a more healthful life style, educate youth about where food really comes from, build a sense of community among citizens, reduce their food costs, and help the environment.
The project is supported by Pleasant Valley Mutual Water Company, Pleasant Valley Recreation and Parks District, the City of Camarillo, civic and fraternal organizations, and local business owners.
After working toward our common goal Camarillo Community Gardens is proud to present our first public community garden.

The garden has produced incredibly well considering its humble starting condition. Here is where … [Read More...]
