Calpella School Garden

Calpella School Garden was established in 1999 and the beloved Grandpa Julio was the garden educator until this year when he retired and our funding for a position was eliminated.  The school garden serves over 480 students in K-4th grades.  We grow seasonal food for students to taste test.

Now that our funding has been eliminated, we have been able to keep the garden alive with the help of Parducci Winery employees who come in to maintain the garden along with their students who attend the school.  We are working on restoring funding through the school district so that all students can once again participate in the garden enhanced nutrition education program.
