Do you enjoy getting your hands dirty? Or maybe you care about the San Mateo Coastal environment in which you live and have been looking for a way to get involved! Well, thanks to Pacifica Gardens; there’s a way to do both! Part of the joy we find in living on the San Mateo Coast is the involvement of the community with its’ surroundings. There’s a great sense of being a part of something bigger and wanting to make each city along the coast, a beautiful place to call home.
Pacifica Gardens is an urban agricultural project spanning 30,000 square feet located on an abandoned soccer field at Linda Mar High School in Pacifica. This project of Pacifica’s Environmental Family, is a non-profit organization with a goal to “increase environmental awareness in the community and in the schools” with a mission of: Educate, Cultivate and Inspire. There always seems to be something new and exciting taking place at the gardens from workshops to new plants or volunteer opportunities. Current projects that are taking place are culinary and medicinal herbs, biointensive food gardens, native plants, food donation programs, adult composting workshops and much more!
This outstanding community organization exists because of the help from volunteers and local supporters! Each Saturday, volunteers are welcome to drop by the gardens to help out! You can stay all day or just help out for an hour, with any volunteer work being greatly appreciated. There are opportunities to serve the community on a regular basis by being a part of one of the watering teams or the building team, there are also crews who enjoy native plants, harvesting, planting or picking. There are a number of ways to get involved!
The next Composting Workshop will be Sunday, September 12 from 2-4pm and is free to attend! Check out the Pacifica Gardens website for more information. The Pacifica community is a town in which the environment and personal growth are of upmost importance and it spills out into everything the residents do!
