President, CCGQOUR MISSION is to create a thriving and sustainable community garden in Clearwater that encourages organic gardening practices, community engagement and education for environmental stewardship. As our main focus is growing organic food. We offer various activities, including educational events, plant sales that feature edible and medicinal plants, as well as butterfly releases, and tours.
If you are looking for flowers or houseplants, we recommend the annual plant sale in May offered by our sister organization, the Clearwater Garden Club. Clearwater Community Gardens, Inc. is a 501c3 Florida Non Profit Corporation established in 2014.
What Drives Us
Our Focus
- Organic Gardening Practices are at the root of what we do at our community garden. We do not use pesticides, herbicides or any harmful toxic chemicals.
- Community Engagement is very important to our group. Each member agrees to “pay for their assigned plot” with workshare activities which help upkeep and beautify the garden.
- Gardening Education is taught by our key members to ensure the community knows the benefits of a healthy and well-kept gardening, including medicinal herbs and organic produce.
- Environmental Stewardship is a focus that ensures we will help the city turn out future members who take care of our local environment and in turn, the Earth.
