In June 2015, following months of staff review, and recommendation by the Parks and Recreation Commission, the Mountain View City Council approved the .8 acre City owned property on the corner of Shoreline Blvd and Latham Street as the location for a plot-based community garden. Eighty four (84) plots, 6ft wide by 18ft long, have been created on this site. This includes limited amounts of ADA plots, short-term plots, and reduced rate plots for low-income families. Latham Community Garden opened in August 2019.

Community events and learning opportunities will take place through out the year led by Soil&Water.
Every Wednesday, 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Every Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
