We foster a love of the land in Sonoma County

Garden Stewardship Day at Jeff's Garden

LandPaths’ garden and community hub in southwest Santa Rosa welcomes you! Our half-acre community teaching garden at Andy’s Unity Park in southwest Santa Rosa, is a place where the neighbors like you grow food, tend the land, practice organic gardening, connect with the natural world, and gather together for positive action and belonging. The garden was renamed in 2020 to honor Moorland community member Jeff Bodwin, It would not exist without his dedication and commitment.

Stewardship tasks vary with the season: prepping beds with compost, planting organic vegetable starts, harvesting vegetables, pruning fruit trees, and more! We have something for everyone to do, so bring the whole family!
