The mission of Las Flores Community Garden is to provide space for citizens to garden together – to create a shared vision, to work collaboratively, and to cultivate a place for individuals, families and friends to learn about and to experience the rewards of organic gardening. We are deeply committed to community pride and unity, teaching organic methods, preservation of open spaces and native habitat for biodiversity.

In partnership with the Conejo Recreation and Park District (CRPD) and the City of Thousand Oaks, the Garden has been serving this community since 1999. It was started by Don Jacobs and Fayde Macune, and has grown over the years to include a community herb garden, a giving garden supporting our local food banks, a butterfly habitat, an orchard, a greenhouse, and educational pavilion, where meetings such as art and gardening classes are held for members and the community.

The purpose of the project is to enhance and beautify the entrance to our garden community as well as the equestrian center. The project will include native plants, water conservation/weed deterrent measures, dust control and erosion abatement for air and water quality protection, and public art for education and beautification of the Conejo Creek Park in partnership with our host, the Conejo Recreation and Park District.
