La Mirada
Community Gardens

The La Mirada Community Gardens are located behind the Mount Olive Lutheran Church on Biola Avenue on one acre of land consisting of 42-plot community gardens and the compost demonstration site. 

The gardens are open to all residents of La Mirada on an annual basis.  Each gardener is assigned a portion of land to cultivate, and charge an annual fee of $45.  The fee helps pay for the use of water and land. 

The La Mirada Community Gardens are currently at full capacity.  The Community Services Department maintains a waiting list for those interested in obtaining a plot.  Each gardener must abide by a set of rules and regulations and the City ultimately retains control over access and use. 

For more information on how to be placed on the waiting list or to learn more about the Community Gardens project and the Compost Demonstration site, contact us at (562) 943-7277.
