The Community Garden at Los Poblanos Fields Open Space is a place
where an individual, a family, or a group can have a plot to grow
fresh vegetables, flowers and herbs for their own use. Groups may
also manage a plot and donate the food to a local food bank. To
protect visitors, ground water and wildlife, the gardens at Los
Poblanos Fields are farmed ”naturally“, so chemical
fertilizers and pesticides are not permitted. With your participation,
Los Poblanos Fields will become a true community farm. You can obtain
a garden plot as an RGCF member. See membership page for details.
WHERE: The community garden is located
in the northwest corner of Los Poblanos Fields. Access is from Solar
Road, west of Alvarado Elementary School.
WHEN: The Garden is open in accordance
with the availability of water from the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy
District-Elena Gallegos lateral. Once the acequias are shut-off
gardeners will have to rely on hand-watering from large storage
tanks. Therefore, we advise planting early spring crops, or planting
varities that can survive on minimal watering.
WHO: Anyone can have a plot to call
their own. Advice and instruction are also available by RGCF staff.
HOW: Send us an email
or call 345-4580. We will contact you as soon as possible.
