Crow Canyon Gardens

Demonstration Gardens Restoration Project

The Crow Canyon Demonstration Gardens are currently being maintained by the City of San Ramon Parks & Community Services and Public Works Departments with the support of City Light Volunteers.

We ask that park visitors do not plant, pick or garden in the area without City approval.

Future City Lights Volunteer Opportunities for the Demonstration Gardens

Saturday May 20, 2023 | 9:00am-11:00am

The events are open to all ages, however children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult. Tasks may include planting, pruning, applying mulch and general clean up. Bring work gloves and wear closed-toe shoes. Perfect for groups!

The project will take 2 hours to complete, depending on the scope of the work, as well as the number of volunteers present. No supervision of minors will be provided after the conclusion of the event and parents must be available to pick up their children within 15 minutes of being notified that the event is completed.

Volunteer Clean Up Day - May 22, 2021

Thank you to all volunteers who attended Saturday’s Crow Canyon Garden Clean-Up.

It looks like our volunteer work force is growing as we had our highest attendance of any garden clean-up day, yet! It may have helped that the weather was a little cooler. Nonetheless, many of our volunteers loaded mulch or took several trips to and from the mulch pile that we actually got to a point where we ran out of mulch! Slowly but surely, we are making great progress. Thank you so much again to all volunteers who helped on May 22, it was a pleasure working alongside each and every one of you. (Attached some photos from May 22– enjoy!)
