Backyard Garden Program

The Backyard Garden Program is a free program that helps West Oakland residents, with limited means, start their own backyard gardens.  City Slicker Farms staff members test the soil, help create a garden plan and assist clients in planting the garden.  For the following two years afterwards, a garden mentor is available who not only provides advice, but often times garden supplies as well. 

Call City Slicker Farms for more information on the Backyard Garden Program.

Planting Justice offers a need-based subsidy application for low-income residents who would like to grow organic food for their families and neighbors.  Please inquire about the backyard garden subsidy if you or someone you know are eligible.
