LCG and OLC ANNUAL REVIEW for the 2019 year (our eight season):
The Lafayette Community Garden and Outdoor Learning Center is located at 3932 Mt. Diablo Boulevard on land owned by EBMUD and leased to the City of Lafayette. Rent for the land is paid annually to the City by the garden through a sub-license agreement with Sustainable Lafayette, our 501C3 fiscal sponsor. From January through October 2019, the Community Garden and Outdoor Learning Center served the community by improving the health and aesthetic quality of the land, growing organic food and educating garden members and the public about many aspects of the natural environment.
The following improvements were made to the property from January – October 2019:
In addition, we continued to do the following:

From parking lot to fruitful garden…we have much to celebrate. What was once a road, parking lot and staging area is now mostly a cooperative vegetable garden where members work together, in teams or individually, but share in the produce.
This Sunday, September 23, we invite the community to visit the Lafayette Community Garden and Outdoor Learning Center as we celebrate the end of the 2018 season at our 7th Annual Harvest Festival.
The garden was established in the spring of 2012 after three years of planning by a small group of Lafayette community members. It has become a place for community members to grow food, learn about the local ecosystem and organic gardening and contribute back to our community.
The gates swing open to the public from 11AM and the festivities will last until 3PM. There will be many activities and speakers. Please come check out what we have to offer. The event is FREE.
