We are located in Vallejo Ca. and have been gardening since 2012. We are fledgling group but are growing day by day.

We are growing winter vegetables at this time but maintain a summer program as well.

Our charter school is comprised of middle school through high school.

Our main garden is located on the middle school campus but are in the middle of installing a high school garden on the high school side.

Our hope is that we can link up with other programs thoughout our town, state and eventually the nation.

The Kohala Center is an independent, not-for-profit, community-based center for research, conservation, and education. By focusing on the needs of island residents and the research interests of our university and agency partners, three core areas of work have emerged: energy self-reliance, food self-reliance, and ecosystem health. Through these partnerships and by recognizing that we work in a model environment, we help communities on the island, in the Pacific, and around the world thrive—ecologically, economically, culturally, and socially.

The goals of our garden are to provide gardening education to our students and community, provide fresh food for our school lunch program, and enhance our nutrition education program. Our current garden is not large enough to meet these goals and this grant will enable us to purchase the materials we need to build a new garden and expand our existing garden.

Healdsburg Elementary School

Our school garden currently includes 12 fruit trees, 10 raised veggie beds, a perennial fairy garden, a living willow hut and a small chicken coop with 5 resident bantam hens. Our school is a K-2 school with a preschool program on-site, with students from ages 4-7. Last year, our school added a garden nutrition enrichment program to our enrichment offerings. The students have responded enthusiastically to the opportunity to be in the garden on a regular basis, gathering eggs, watering plants, and enjoying on-the-spot tasting of fruits and vegetables.
