Ward 2 Newsletter: October 2025

Subscribe to the Ward 2 Newsletter

Dear Santaneros,

As we turn the page from summer to fall, our community enters a season of new beginnings and meaningful opportunities. Fall is a time for growth, reflection and connection. For many of our seniors, it means taking the exciting next steps toward college applications, while for families, it can be a moment to pause and evaluate where support and resources are most needed. It is important to me to recognize these needs and ensure that residents are connected with programs and opportunities that strengthen and uplift our community.

October also brings with it an important reminder - Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This is a time to reaffirm our commitment to health, early detection, and supporting those who are directly and indirectly impacted by breast cancer. Together, through awareness and access to resources, we can foster resilience, care and hope across our city.

In Solidarity,

Mayor Pro Tem Vazquez

Santa Ana Community Garden: Composting

Composting in Santa Ana Parks

Do your part to reduce waste and give back to the earth by dropping off your organic and compostable food scraps at our Community Gardens. Composting keeps valuable materials out of landfills and transforms them into nutrient-rich soil that helps our plants - and our community - thrive.

All five Santa Ana Community Gardens have compost piles open to residents:

• El Salvador Park Community Garden
• Jerome Park Community Garden
• Madison Park Community Garden
• Pacific Elementary Community Garden
• Roosevelt Walker Community Garden

Not sure what counts as compostable? Visit any Community Garden during operating hours to learn more about composting, its benefits, and how "waste" can become a valuable local resource.

Annual Pumpkin Smash! November 1-12

Don't let your Halloween pumpkins haunt the landfill! Each year, the Community Garden Program hosts a Pumpkin Smash, inviting residents to bring their pumpkins and Jack-o'-lanters to one of our compost piles. Your smashed pumpkins will be turned into compost that rejuvenates the soil in our gardens.

Why Participate?

• Improves local soil with nutrient-dense compost.
• Diverts pumpkins from landfills (where most of the 1.3 billion pounds grown in the U.S. end up).
• Pumpkins are 90% water - great for soil but harmful in landfills.
• In a compost pile, pumpkins break down in 8-12 weeks. In a landfill, one pumpkin can take over 20 years.
