Our History
Almost Eden was started in 1998 by Bob Segbarth and a staff member at Urban Ministries in Palo Alto.
Originally, homeless and low-income individuals were paid to help
at the garden through a grant secured by Urban Ministries.
When funding ran dry, Bob worked as a volunteer to keep the garden going.
Pamela Chesavage joined Bob in the garden during the summer of 2003
and went on to manage the garden from 2004-2013.
In 2013, Pamela was joined by Helen Chee -
they now serve as co-managers for the Almost Eden Garden Project.
