The community garden first planted roots at the corner of Eagle Rock Way and South Coast Highway in 2009. It has become a place where residents 'can speak through creating something everyone can see.'
Christoph smiled one recent morning when she discussed the shed sitting by the aging entry gate to the garden at the corner of Eagle Rock Way and South Coast Highway in Laguna Beach. It was donated by Geoff and Julie Beckham in 2009 and trucked to the then-empty lot from their backyard in North Laguna.
The garden’s terraces, rock walls, planting boxes and the staircase between the upper garden and the lower one were made by volunteers during the last 10 years. Neighborhood volunteers work in 2009 to prepare the land that would become South Laguna Community Garden Park at Eagle Rock Way and South Coast Highway in Laguna Beach.It’s hard to imagine that the garden, in all its lush greenery, was ever anything but. However, it was a vacant lot in August 2009 when then-property owner Paul Tran gave permission to the South Laguna Civic Assn. to establish a garden there without charge.
Joliet and her husband, Tom, live in a condominium, where “you don’t get to meet your neighbors as much,” she said. “But the camaraderie here [at the garden] and the friendships that have been able to build up are ... even more important than the plants.”South Laguna resident Lynn Chaldu, who calls herself a novice, said she has been part of the garden for a year and a half. She’s taken her grandchildren there to help plant vegetables and flowers.
