Many of you have been following the journey to bring a Community Garden to Jean Sweeney Open Space Park, and we’re thrilled to share some exciting news: Our vision is getting closer to becoming a reality in 2027!
Since our last update, we’ve been working with talented designer Taska Sanford from Bewilder Landscape Design to transform our vision into a plan for a vibrant, welcoming community space. We’re excited to unveil our newly developed garden plan—a major milestone that brings us one step closer to making it all happen!
And now, it’s time for our community to help this garden grow!
The City of Alameda will prepare the grounds and provide much of the initial infrastructure, but the next step is up to us. Together, we can turn this exciting plan into a thriving garden that will nourish our community for years to come.
This is where YOU come in! Every donation, large or small, will help bring our shared vision to life. Get ready to dig in and join us in growing something truly special for Alameda!
Take a look at the CONCEPT PLAN for the Community Garden:
