The History of San Carlos Community Garden

Growing Community
The San Carlos Community Garden (SCCG) was established in 2012 with a grant funded by the San Diego Health and Services Agency and the tireless support from countless community volunteers. SCCG is a joint-use community garden in partnership with the Sierra School of San Diego, a specialized K-12 school that helps children with learning disabilities grow and achieve success.
