The Mount Hope Community Garden celebrated it’s groundbreaking ceremony on Sept. 28th, 2011. This is the first community garden located in Southeastern San Diego, and it brings a welcome opportunity for local residents to grow their own food.
Nine years ago, Project New Village approached the City of San Diego about leasing a vacant plot in the Mount Hope neighborhood where we wanted to start a community garden. Today, PNV now owns the land, and the garden is one-third of an acre with 40 garden beds that people in the community use as members of that garden, where they grow food and flowers.
