Ventura and surrounding areas are home to many beautiful gardens.  Visiting a community garden is a great way to get exercise and learn more about plants and the natural ecosystem.  It is also a great way to support the preservation of land for communal use. 

Community gardens also offer many fun activities and classes for the entire family, from organic gardening to garden craft making.  Grab a book, a camera, or some sketching pencils and enjoy a relaxing day in a beautiful atmosphere.  Or don't take anything at all and meditate for a bit.  Its amazing how revitalizing a garden trip can be.  Here are some of Ventura's most popular gardens.
