community nourishment
We are a cooperative community garden in downtown Tacoma and a 2020 recipient of a Tacoma Creates grant for educational outreach. Stewards work together to grow and share produce. 50% of what we grow is donated to support food security in our neighborhood.
Learn new skills and enjoy the garden! We have volunteer hours on Wednesdays and Saturdays. You can commit for the season as a garden steward or drop-in for a day. We welcome all helping hands! All volunteers share in part of the harvest after we donate our bounty to local food banks. Send us a message if you would like more information!

MISSION STATEMENT:
The Gallucci Learning Garden is part of a larger network of gardens in the Hilltop owned and managed by the Tacoma Urban Land Trust which includes the Viet Huong Community Garden. The Tacoma Urban Land Trust’s mission is to acquire and preserve green spaces in our Hilltop community, help connect neighbors to one another, nourish and sustain our ethnic diversity, and provide education to our younger and older community members as well as provide space to grow nutritious foods.
Founders, past workers, and current stewards of Gallucci.
What We're Doing
Seasonal goals and plantings.
Every summer we schedule a range of events and classes.
Our commitment to education extends outside the garden.
We'd Like to Thank
The Learning Garden is a non-profit supported by generous patrons, grants, and plant sales. We could not provide food security for the Hilltop neighborhood without the support of our partners and local connections.
