The Scripps Ranch Civic Association Community Garden was launched in 2024 by 60% funding by the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) for $10,000. The community garden is located on school district property as part of the Livia Apartments/Monarch Development. Our community garden was completely built by volunteers. We have annual community garden bed rentals for 30 gardeners on 19 beautiful 29” raised metal garden beds. The community garden has eight pollinator beds that will help the garden thrive. The pollinator beds are planted and maintained by our Buzzy Bee Pollinators volunteers.

There Is Peace Within A Garden – By Lady Rosamund Langham
There is peace within a garden, a peace so deep and calm,
that when the heart is troubled, it’s like a soothing balm.
There’s life within a garden, a life that still goes on,
Filling the empty places when older plants have gone.
There’s glory in the garden at every time of year.
Spring, summer, autumn, winter, to fill the heart with cheer.
So ever tend your garden, its beauty to increase.
For in it you’ll find solace. And in it you’ll find peace.
