At Clearwater Community Gardens, we are dedicated to building a community of organic gardeners who support the environment and one another with sustainable practices that support locally grown food. Our goal is to provide a space where individuals and families can grow their own fresh produce, learn about Florida gardening, and build closer ties to our community.

We have 45 individual 4′ x 8′ garden plots, each equipped with irrigation. Our gardeners also utilize water conservation practices by using rain water from our rain catchment system as well as the well water pumps located throughout the garden space. The common areas of the gardens include a variety of fruit-bearing trees and plants from which members share in the fruitage. We have an apiary on site and harvest local honey from our hives several times per year. Monthly classes and events are held for both members and the public, all surrounding the riches that our natural environment has to offer our community.
