DIRECTIONS: 1740 Cliff Drive, Santa Barbara, CA (corner of Dolores and Meigs). This 2/3 acre food forest/orchard grows food for the Food Bank and is on the property of Holy Cross Church, but it’s easiest to find using the following directions as the garden is on the corner of Meigs Road and Dolores Drive at the back of the property. From the 101 Freeway: Take the Carrillo St exit and head toward the ocean. Carrillo turns into Meigs Road. Head up and over the hill and turn left on Dolores Drive. Park along the street. The garden is on the corner.

PLEASE BRING: Scion wood (cuttings) to exchange! A folding garden chair or stool, water, sunhat, raincoat, sunscreen, umbrella, -- or whatever you need to be comfortable. If you have any fruit, refreshments or plants/seeds to share, those are welcome too!
