We are a thriving organic community garden right in the heart of Sunnyvale, California. Our friendly group of locals share a love of gardening who value an urban green space in a busy city and know the benefits of creating a healthy life for themselves and their families.<\/p>\n

CSG contributes by beautifying our valuable neighborhood environment, provides year-round fun and educational social activities to county-wide residents, and gives local gardeners and their families an opportunity to produce organic and nourishing food in a sustainable manner.<\/p>\n

At Charles Street Gardens,\u00a0plots are utilized by local Sunnyvale gardeners, classes are held on growing your own food, and a wide variety of other activities take place!<\/p>\n

Our History<\/h1>\n

In a historic agreement with the City of Sunnyvale Parks and Recreation Department, Sustainable Community Gardens agreed to design, build, operate and manage an all organic, community garden on an approximately one-acre vacant lot adjacent to the Civic Center. Charles Street Gardens officially opened to the public on May 29, 2006.<\/p>\n

The group designed and built eighty-seven 4\u2019x16\u2019 redwood raised garden beds, and five 4\u2019x8\u2019 three-foot high accessible beds.<\/p>\n

We invited the Master Gardeners of Santa Clara County to build a teaching and demonstration garden within the community garden, and they teach monthly classes for all interested\u00a0gardeners,\u00a0from Sunnyvale and the rest of the county.<\/p>\n

Charles Street Gardens officially opened to the public on May 29, 2006.<\/p>\n

There’s a lot going on inside this garden, but you’ll have to come inside to truly appreciate Charles Street Gardens. You can’t see it all from the gates!<\/p>\n

Download a map of the garden, and then stop by on a Tuesday during open hours (or a weekend when other gardeners are at the garden) and take a self guided tour.<\/p>\n

Our chicken coop is home to our kid-friendly chickens who are fed organic seeds + scraps from the garden. Our hens love to receive visitors and will happily say hello and politely ask if you have any treats.<\/p>\n
