“I don’t want to share my garden secrets”, said no gardener ever!

In fact, many experienced gardeners would agree the best thing about gardening is sharing our harvests, our seedlings, and our knowledge with each other. Every second Sunday, the "Eddie" Souza Community Garden opens its gates to all novice and experienced gardeners everywhere in a cultural garden exchange. Each month we will highlight a topic to discuss, however all topics (and plants) are on the table! We hope you can bring seeds, seedlings, recipes, garden food, plant cuttings, or even questions to exchange with your neighbors. No one will be turned away for coming empty handed. The time of the exchange will vary due to the weather so please check the Community Garden Webpage for updates! This event is free and family friendly.

 ATTENTION! – Fruit and Vegetable Quarantine in effect.

In Santa Clara County, detections of the invasive Oriental Fruit Fly in the cities of Santa Clara and Sunnyvale have resulted in a quarantine zone covering 112 square miles (see the map). To prevent the spread of this pest through homegrown fruits and vegetables, residents living in quarantine areas are urged not to move those items from their property.  However, they may be consumed or processed (i.e., juiced, frozen, or cooked on the property where they were picked, or disposed of by double bagging and placing in the regular trash, not green waste.
