Welcome to The Root 66 Community Garden
Our community garden is a place where individuals and families can come together to grow fresh produce, learn about sustainable gardening practices, and connect with their neighbors. We offer garden plots, educational workshops, event venue rental, and community events throughout the year. Our garden is a great way to get outside and enjoy the fresh air while also doing something good for the environment.
Event Venue
The event venue rentals help support our community garden and FoodShare project. Think about having your next birthday party, bridal shower, wedding, business dinner or other event at The Garden.

Growing Community
The Root 66 Community Garden is a collaborative non-profit community project founded in 2014. Our mission is to create & sustain a community garden and FoodShare Project which will serve to improve the quality of life throughout the local communities of western San Bernardino County. The Root 66 Garden serves to educate, strengthen community spirit, create therapeutic environments and provide locally and organically grown fresh fruits and vegetables for the community.
The non-profit garden is supported by private donations from our members, the community and by sharing our garden space with others as an event venue. Tell your friends about our unique venue rental!
Good for Everyone
Together We Will Grow
Growing Community
There is a growing national awareness of the value of locally grown produce that can enhance the health and wellbeing of the community's citizens. With the development of the Root 66 Garden's FoodShare Project, it is our intention to increase the access to low-cost and free, locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables, a portion of which will be delivered to those who are home-bound.

Local History
Cucamonga's first large agricultural development began in 1838. By 1917, Cucamonga's vineyards spanned over 20,000 acres. Rancho Cucamonga is also home to the first and oldest winery building in California, established in 1839 and identified as California Historic Landmark No. 490. Today, only a few of the valley's original wine growing family operations remain with less than 800 vineyard acres. Revitalizing our local history and preserving our viticulture heritage is a vital aspect of our history and community.
Education Opportunities
The Root 66 Community Garden provides educational opportunities, not only for our members, but for everyone within the community. Learn how to pickle, can, cook, compost and grow your own food, reconnect with the soil, and have a lifetime of health and well-being. We all need a place to play in the dirt.
Growing Food
We are dedicated to helping everyone find an affordable way to live an organic lifestyle. Even those living in apartments can be part of the food revolution. With rented raised planters or larger garden plots, growing your own organic food is easy! Newbies welcome!
