Our small park includes gardens that interpret the history of the traditional Ohlone landscape, the many fruits and vegetables imported by the Spanish, and the heritage trees and flowers of the Victorian era.
We are seeking volunteers to help plant and tend gardens, and develop our food plant crops to benefit the community. Any level of experience is welcome - we are happy to provide training. The times are flexible.
If you are interested in gardening at the Santa Cruz Mission SHP, please call the park at 831 425-5849 or email santacruzmission@ports-ca.us
