Welcome

Our community garden is a place where people who enjoy gardening come together to work the soil and share their knowledge and experience with other gardeners. Our gardeners include UCI students, faculty, staff, and members from the community. Originally established in 1985, the garden has been located near two different UCI student housing complexes, most recently Arroyo Vista Housing. In June 2008 the garden was relocated to a new site next to Palo Verde Graduate Student Housing. The club name was changed to Anthill Village Community Garden.

The Garden Site

The new garden site is located along Anteater Drive between Palo Verde Road and California Avenue. There are 99 garden plots, each measuring 12 feet by 16 feet. There are eleven rows of gardens with four-foot pathways between the rows and a 24-foot center walkway. Click here for an approximate layout of the garden.

Costs and Membership

Annual fees are due February 20 and are $40 per plot for faculty, staff, and community members; UCI students pay $25 per year. Members are responsible for maintaining their plots according to the Constitution and Bylaws and Membership Agreement. Before a garden plot is assigned, gardeners must fill out and sign the Member Information Sheet.
