In Placer County, an increasing number of people are embracing gardening, with community gardens playing a pivotal role in strengthening our sense of community and improving food security. In response to this growing interest, we proudly offer technical assistance to backyard and community gardens within the Placer RCD service area. This assistance covers many topics, including starting a new garden, weed and pest management, container gardening, community garden creation and organizational development, soil health, efficient irrigation, backyard orchard assistance, and more!
