The Natomas Garden & Arts Collective (NGAC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing community connectivity through gardening and the arts. Founded by local residents in 2017 and officially incorporated in 2018, NGAC aims to provide a vibrant space for sharing inspiration, knowledge, and artistic expression. Regular monthly meetings, held both in-person and online, foster a welcoming atmosphere for families and individuals to engage and participate.

NGAC offers a variety of programs, including workshops aimed at promoting artistic skills and gardening techniques, as well as community events like “Chalk It Up.” The organization manages several garden spaces, such as the Grassland Garden at Ninos Parkway and the Ninos Community Garden, which serve as hubs for learning and collaboration. With a vision for a comprehensive Garden & Arts Center, NGAC strives to enrich the local culture while encouraging sustainable practices and creative growth among its members and the wider community.
