The new Community Garden at Armitos Park in Goleta will have 50 plots available – 10 of them large and 40 small plots.
"It's nestled in Old Town, where we have a lot of condensed housing, so it provides that great opportunity for people to grow their own garden," explained JoAnne Plummer, the Parks and Recreation Manager at the City of Goleta.
Plummer says the garden will also feature tool sheds as well as a picnic area and a pizza oven.
"There's also a demonstration space in the center of the garden. There are workbenches, there are tool sheds, and there is a picnic area that includes a pizza oven and picnic tables and outdoor seating," she said.
A plot costs $120 a year, and construction is expected to be completed in Spring.
