A Community Garden for SLO!
Have you heard the good news? OCE and partners are building a new community garden in San Luis Obispo at the Laguna Golf Course on Los Osos Valley Road within the next few months. Not only will the new garden add up to 40 new spaces where SLO citizens can grow vegetables, flowers, herbs and more, the garden will use recycled (purple pipe) water. Upon completion by OCE and partners, the garden will be operated by the City of San Luis Obispo. If you are interested in garden plots, contact David Sutterland at (805) [phone redacted] or [email redacted].
We're Almost Ready...
More than half of the funding needed has been donated, but before construction can begin, we need to raise the remaining $8000 in materials and labor costs required to build the garden. Be a part of this movement and make a positive impact by sponsoring a raised bed or bench, or donating materials, time or expertise today!
Support the Garden!
To raise the remaining funds, we're offering sponsorship opportunities. Help us reach our goal of getting 40 garden-bed sponsors and 4 garden bench sponsors. To recognize your donation, your name (or that of a company, family member or friend) will be engraved in the lumber used to construct the garden. In addition, you will receive tickets (for you plus one) to a grand opening barbecue in the garden!

The difference you can make.
We are experiencing a severe drought. In these uncertain times, resourcefulness is crucial and we must think and work together towards solutions. This purple pipe garden will make a difference in our County by providing an example of how we can rethink waste. Built by community, for community, the garden connects people to people and to nature. Be a part of this movement and make a positive impact by donating today!
A Purple Pipe Garden?
You heard it right, the new community garden will be irrigated by purple pipe water (the term for recycled or reclaimed water). By using purple pipe water, the garden avoids impacting our limited fresh water supplies. Purple pipe water comes from the water treatment plant where it has been thoroughly cleaned and tested before it is carried by purple pipes to golf courses, landscapes, gardens, and farms for reuse. Is purple pipe water safe? Yes! In fact, purple pipe water is cleaner than many natural fresh water sources. Several other community gardens in California, including one in San Jose, have beeen using and monitoring it for years. A number of farms also use recycled water to reduce impacts on groundwater supplies.
