WELCOME 2026!
Our Garden (re-)Opening Celebration will be held on Saturday, July 18, 11am-1pm,
at our new location at 72 Adelaide Street (facing Central Avenue).
The grill will be hot; we'll have food, give tours of the garden,
share ideas for how to make the space even better, and sign up new gardeners.
If you can't make it to our party but are interested in learning more about the garden,
feel free to email info@riversidecommunitygarden.org,
