Growing Spaces

Mount Hope Community Garden

We have 40 garden beds for personal use, and the garden members include neighborhood residents, social groups, and educational and emotional healing groups. For $5 a month, members grow food and flowers for their own use. Additionally, we have market garden space where we grow food to sell and share. We currently have fruit and trees, including nectarines, pomegranates, apricots, plums, pears, figs, kumquats, loquats, apples and citrus. We are also growing varieties of berries, peppers, eggplant, corn, squash, okra, tomatoes, beets, bananas and more.

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.
