    Good place to get some quiet time, feel peaceful and get in touch with nature. Probably a great…read moreplace to grow vegetables, fruits, have a garden, especially for people that don't have a garden or planter. With it being an organic garden that must mean that the soil is free of pesticides, so that's great! There is a wait list to grow things here. I was just in the area so I dropped by here because I was curious what it had in here. There are garden plots and planters with different things in them that people are growing whatever they choose to grow here such as, tomatoes, leafy greens, flowers, etc. Also it's good to get back in touch with nature to destress, whether it's visiting parks, or planting foods. When planting foods it reminds us to be patient, that things take time (some of our lifestyles have us rushing so much thay we rush even when we don't need to rush. If we rush all the time, when and where will we relax?) When we put our effort into something such as this garden, we appreciate it more and are therefore happier.

    the Emeryville Community Organic Garden, ECOG, is a huge bonus to living in Emeryville. With the…read morediminutive size of most condos, it's great to have a little outside space to plant some veggies and take in the air. Plus points for being unlocked and open to the public (and to the public for not regularly raiding our plots), for beautifying the new Emeryville pathway along Doyle, and for donating some 125 lbs of edible greens to local charities in the last year. This garden was established by the late Elaine Bradshaw Drukman, for whom a plaque and garden bench are dedicated. Elaine....great job, and rest in peace!

We came on the evening on a Friday, which is perfect for just talking a nice stroll or hike around, but after seeing that they had a bearded dragon (Matilda) and a chuckwalla (Chuck), I knew I had to come back again to meet them. Parking is free and love the wildlife that is around here. Not just the butterflies that I've seen fluttering about but also the coyote that trotted across the lot to cross the street. This is also a great location to find activities to do with the family or with the community. They have a 4 H Club, a community garden that you can sign up for, an entire calendar of events for the month, a Blacksmithing workshop/demonstration, and much more. We were limited on time and didn't get to see the historical buildings or the restored structures, nor was the Blacksmith Shop open, but for our next visit, I'll be sure to check them out. Outside you can meet the alpaca that they have hanging out (freshly shaved for the summer, so it was funny to see the little tufts of hair that they had on their head) and some of their goats too. Now to the highlight of my visit, the Environmental Education Center. Obviously this is meant for kids and families, but I had a great time meeting their animal ambassadors (I didn't ask for them to be taken out, but I'm sure there are events and moments for that) and learning more about them. The staff there are very friendly, welcoming, and informative. It makes me happy to know that the ambassadors that I inquired about were rescues and they have a second chance at life and in educating the community. My favs were obviously Matilda and Chuck, but there are also various snakes, turtles, a toad, fish, tarantulas, and stick bugs. The center also has books, opportunities for hands on observations and journaling for kids, puppets and educational toys and exhibits, and much more. Definitely will come back!

    This was such a great place to enjoy nature and also visit some pretty cool animals! I wanted to go…read moreto see the Alpacas on the farm, but I had realized there would be so many more animals. We took the tour lead by the 4H kids and it was pretty awesome learning all the fun facts. I loved seeing the goats and how playful they were. The chickens were a riot and it was so nice being outdoors. There's also trails nearby if you want to take a hike and extend your time being around nature. Definitely will be back there soon to enjoy the place again.
