UC Master Gardeners of San Luis Obispo County have partnered with the City of Paso Robles to adopt the garden at Centennial Park in Paso Robles. We appreciate Common Ground Worldwide for their work and dedication in managing this garden for the past five years. We are excited to continue the work and explore new opportunities for public education and community benefit.

  • Kitchen garden
  • California native plants and wildlife habitat
  • Low-water pollinator garden
