Did you know that … Generally, our 78 garden plots are leased annually, with memberships running from March through February of the following year. Often a few plots become free post Summer, so we’re able to welcome a smaller group of new members in September/October.

Volunteer in the garden: AACG hosts monthly workdays every second Saturday where members and volunteers get together to help with various garden projects, including maintaining the garden’s common areas, working in the butterfly garden, orchard, pocket prairie, or teaching garden. No previous gardening experience is necessary. Sign up at https://www.adelphiacre.org/get-involved/volunteering/.

Attend our Community Events: We host a variety of recurring events throughout the year. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for the latest dates and details.

Make & Mend plus Clothing Swap (every first Saturday of the Month): Bring gently used clothing to swap, donate, or repair. Experienced menders are on hand to offer advice, tutorials, and plenty of creative company.

Breathwork and Guided Meditation under the Heritage Oaks (every third Saturday of the month): Relax and recharge with gentle yoga, ancient breathing practices, and a guided meditation beneath our beautiful heritage oak trees.

Annual Fall Plant Fundraiser: Saturday October 10th – pick up seasonal vegetable and herb plants while supporting the garden. Every donation helps fund our programs and maintain this community space.
