Richmond Grows Gardens, a citywide Community Garden Program, permits organizations to use vacant and underutilized city property for community gardens. Several locations currently offer community garden opportunities where residents can lease plots of land to have their own, personal gardens. 

In addition, Richmond has a Children's Garden where children living in several of the Richmond Redevelopment Housing Authority communities work with volunteers to learn about gardening and local food production.
