Excerpt:
The community gardening program was founded in 1975 under Honolulu Mayor Frank Fasi’s Administration, with the first community garden located in Makiki District Park.
Since then, the community gardening program has grown to 11 communities on O?ahu. Each garden has its own unique character, with more than 2,000 gardeners actively engaged in growing vegetables, herbs, flowers, and other bio-diverse greenery.
Community gardening isn’t just about growing plants, but also growing relationships. In addition to the harvests that their garden plots yield, gardeners enjoy: social interaction, creative problem solving (“how do you get your tomato to grow?”), recreational opportunities, and exercise in our park settings.
This program is administered by the City and County of Honolulu Department of Parks and Recreation and led by teams of volunteers who facilitate garden meetings and workdays, coordinate special projects, and communicate with neighborhood organizations about common concerns.
Their goal is to be an integral element of our city parks, as they share these public spaces with a diverse community of park users, such as youth sports teams, tennis and pickleball enthusiasts, and walkers. They’re all about staying healthy, exercising, enjoying the outdoors, and growing with our communities.
