Today, we're dedicated to expanding our vibrant edible gardens and orchards so children can plant seeds and learn valuable lessons from nature that will bloom into a vibrant harvest. You're invited to join the fun!

Please consider making a gift and becoming a member of our Farm Gardens Giving Circle today. Help us bring these new gardens to life for our students and community. Together, we can plant a beautiful future.
