The San Carlos Community Garden (SCCG) was established in 2012 with a grant funded by the San Diego Health and Services Agency and the tireless support from countless community volunteers. SCCG is a joint-use community garden in partnership with the Sierra School of San Diego, a K-12+ (age 21) school that supports students with special needs and helps them reach their fullest potential.

The San Carlos Community Garden provides a safe and beautiful space for the community to grow their own healthy and organic food, flowers and spirit. SCCG offers 70 raised community garden plots, 30-fruit-tree orchard, Sensory Garden, 160-ft. dry creek bed planted with California natives, Rose garden surrounding a labryinth, outdoor classroom amphitheater, Fire Safe Landscaping demonstration garden and many other beautiful feature. SCCG is also a designated Monarch Way Station.

The San Carlos Community Garden’s Growing Community mission encourages healthy living, personal and spiritual growth, and stewardship of the earth. We strive to make this possible through our gardening and volunteering opportunities, monthly Growing Community events, Summer Youth Ambassador Program and more! Check out our upcoming events HERE.
