Valencia Community Gardens (VCG), a non-profit based in Tomé, received a donation of hundreds of bags of organic garden soil, starter soil, planter soil, and seed-starting kits from Lowe’s in Los Lunas. The donation arrived at the perfect time as our gardeners are preparing soil and planting early crops for the season.

VCG will share the Lowe’s donation with other community gardens in Valencia County.  East Valencia Urban Gardens at 309 El Cerro Mission Rd., directed by Lindsey Díaz from the SWCD at Whitfield, will be offering raised garden beds to community families this summer.  VCG will also be offering free supplies to individuals interested in participating in our garden community or those interested in starting their own community garden. Our gardeners can be found toiling away every Wednesday and Saturday morning throughout the year. Stop by and join the fun!

7 Silva Rd just north of Tomé Gallery, south of Tomé Plaza, west of and running nearly parallel to Hwy 47. Look for the Valencia Community Gardens banner on the gate and the streetside Little Free Library.

We wear masks, keep at least six feet apart, and otherwise observe all recommended pandemic precautions. We’ll be posting springtime hours as soon as it reliably warms up. We’re at 7 Silva Rd. between the Tomé Gallery and Tomé Plaza just west of and somewhat parallel to Hwy 47. We’ve been preparing plots and pruning grapevines.
