The Eastside Sprout (Community )

Established in 2010, The Eastside Sprout is a Community Garden on the SW corner of the Ella Austin Community Center.

All of the produce grown here is free. What's growing depends on the season! We try to plant a variety of things that we think people will like to eat.

Our vision is for the garden to be a welcoming space for various activities in addition to gardening - community meetings, yoga classes, small events, a quiet place to read, the list goes on!

The Eastside Sprout Community Garden offers fresh produce, gardening education, and a safe community space to gather.

All of the produce grown here is free, and you're welcome to pick anytime. We simply ask that visitors respect the space and leave enough produce to share with others who visit.

What's growing depends on the season! We try to plant a variety of things that we think people will like to eat. Please let us know if you have any requests.

There are plenty of other ways to enjoy the garden:

  • Host an event or meeting.
  • Have lunch under the heritage oak tree.
  • Share your photos and tag us on social media.
  • Share a favorite recipe or memory.
  • Play with the cats.
The garden gate near the sheds is open anytime the parking lot gate is open, usually during business hours (8:00 AM - 5:00, M-F) and some Saturdays.
