Compton Community Garden is a communal effort to directly address social and ecological inequalities in Compton & beyond.
An entirely organic, regenerative, and community-run garden, CCG’s core mission is to feed healthy natural foods to the immediate community in Compton & North Long Beach for free; to act as a resource for community empowerment & ecological consciousness, encouraging a more shared, self-sustaining way of life in harmony with the natural world.
Beyond a place to grow & feed, Compton Community Garden is a hub for social & cultural exchange - a safe space for exploring mental health, direct democracy, music, books, ideologies, and life experiences. Through cultivating community, CCG treats gardening as a social and spiritual practice, feeding our bodies, minds & communities synergistically.
