Welcome!
Part of the UCSB and Isla Vista Farm and Garden Collaborative, the Family Student Housing Gardens are comprised of the Storke and West Campus Gardens specific to each complex of Family Student Housing (FSH).  Residents and families of FSH who are interested in joining the garden community have the opportunity to have one plot to call their garden for the time that they reside in FSH.  Each individual plot within our gardens is cultivated by the residents and their families. The gardens are a great place for people to come together and share in creating a wonderful place to enjoy for gardeners and visitors of the gardens alike!

UPDATE: Facebook Group and Facebook Page
Besides this website, the FSH Community Gardens has two other platforms - Facebook Group and Facebook Page. We invite FSH gardeners, plot holders, and garden staff to join the Facebook Group if they want to connect and have discussions with each other about gardening tips, sharing harvest, swapping seeds, etc. The Facebook Page will be managed by the garden staff to post announcements as well as allow others to post announcements like gardening-related or sustainability and food security events, community classes, garden workshops, etc.

Please email the garden staff directly at ucsbfshgardens@gmail.com for garden issues - tools, maintenance, irrigation etc. - that need to be addressed by staff vs residents, visitors or volunteers.
