About the Program: 

EnrichLA is a non-profit organization whose mission is to bring edible gardens and orchards into public schools across Los Angeles. With the help of the school community, community members and corporate partners, we build each garden by hand. Our gardens serve students in pre-k through grade 12 and have a variety of unique features. Many of our sites have grape arbors, outdoor classroom spaces, picnic benches, outdoor kitchens, dry creek beds and raised and in-ground fruit and vegetable beds.

We also offer interdisciplinary, garden-based education programs to schools within the EnrichLA network. To date, EnrichLA has built over 60 school gardens and is slated to begin Garden Ranger Programming at 35 school sites in the 2014-2015 calendar year.

We believe every student derserves access to healthy food and a beautiful garden within their schoolyard.
