The Community Garden at Holy Nativity Church hopes to provide a model for homeowners, apartment complexes, churches, schools, organizations and businesses to get involved in turning underused and overwatered patches of lawn in our community into productive and beautiful spaces, growing organic food crops to feed the needy.

We welcome and encourage participation from individuals, families, groups of friends, neighbors or co-workers, and local businesses. The garden growing space is divided into 35 beds containing vegetables, herbs, and flowers to attract pollinators and discourage unwanted pests. The food will be grown organically, with pest control handled by natural methods only.

The year is divided into two six-month growing seasons. The Spring/Summer season begins in April and ends with a Harvest Celebration at the end of September. The Fall/Winter season begins in October and ends with a Harvest Celebration in March. Ten percent of the food grown in the garden will be shared among the participants - those who care for and tend the crops and those who sponsor portions of the Garden. The rest of the produce will be given to the LAX Food Pantry to stock their shelves with fresh produce for needy families.
