Build a Sustainable Future at Moreno Valley's Community Demonstration Garden
In this month's edition of the Mayor's Minute, Mayor Yxstian Gutiérrez highlights the new and unique Community Demonstration Garden at the Moreno Valley Civic Center. 

Opened in February, the Community Demonstration Garden allows Moreno Valley residents to learn best practices to cultivate a sustainable garden and grow vegetables and fruit trees in their backyard. 

The Community Demonstration Garden is yet another step Moreno Valley is taking to ensure the City continues to be a healthy and sustainable place to live and thrive. 

The Community Demonstration Garden is located at 14075 Frederick Street, behind the Conference and Recreation Center. Watch the Mayor's Minute here.
