The Healthy Dixie Council is focused on supporting community gardens and helping to supply information to start a garden. Please view the resources in this section to help you get started or to join a garden in your area.

 

We are also focusing on connecting schools with the local community gardens. The California School Garden Network reports that school gardens can increase academic performance as well as fruit and vegetable consumption. If your garden or school would like to partner please contact us for more information.

 

If you have a community garden and would like to have it represented on our map, please contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with the following information:
