Our garden has 1 year goals and 5 year goals: This grant will make our 1 year goals possible, and get us well on our way to success in achieving our 5 year goals.

1. To upgrade irrigation system to be more efficient and cost saving.

2. To obtain materials, expertise and labor for the building of a secure tool shed.

3. To develop a Community Supported Agriculture Program, to promote sustainability of the Community Garden Programs.

4. The Riverbank Community Gardens will partner with Families First to include local foster children.

5 year goals:

1. Partner with Riverbank Unified School District, and FFA on a 10-acre working farm on city property.

2. To have a garden site/ program at every school campus in the district.
