Toddler Gardens at Lake Merritt

The Toddler Gardens at Lake Merritt is a co-op community garden for families with children aged 0-5. Our plots are housed in beautiful Lakeside Park. Families can choose what to grow and provide a hands-on educational experience to children! We learn about growing plants, soil, worms, pollinators and more through monthly events.

No prior gardening knowledge or experience necessary.

Garden plots open to residents of Oakland or nearby communities by yearly registration. Monthly educational demonstrations open to public (covid restrictions may be in place).
