The mission of the Gilroy Demonstration Garden is to enrich the lives of our local community through environmentally sustainable gardening and education programs that empower residents to experience the Earth as a classroom, an edible landscape, the center of our community, and a place of enjoyment, beauty, and endless wonder.
Our three-quarter acre "edible classroom" located in the heart of downtown Gilroy serves the greater South County area. The Garden grew out of a partnership between the Gilroy Arts Alliance and the Leadership Gilroy Class of 2010 who began work on plans for a teaching garden and green space for the community in early 2010. Ground was broken this spring and the Garden officially opens on June 5th.
Please come and enjoy all that the Garden has to offer!
