Happy Earth Day from the Gardners at the El Mirage Community Garden



Please assist us in making the Farmer's Market planned for fall 2013 successful by completing the Farmer's Market Survey

About The Garden

Individuals, families, businesses and other groups in and around El Mirage are encouraged to become part of the garden project.  Those interested in growing their own fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers may lease a garden box at a nominal annual fee of $80.00. The fee will help cover the costs of water and garden maintenance.  Many volunteers are also needed to assemble garden boxes and seating, build pathways, teach gardening, help with maintenance, and perform a myriad of other tasks to keep the garden vibrant year-round. The City has filled each garden box with quality soil and installed spigots at each box. Spigot locks are issued to gardners when boxes are leased to protect the water supply from leaks, vandalism, and inadvertent damage.  

The garden’s continued progress depends on donations, and the City will recognize each contributor with signs at the garden site, as well as a special mention in the El Mirage News.
