About the Program: 

Palos Verdes School Gardens is a non-profit organization that seeks to make our schools models of sustainability on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

We want our kids to learn about conservation, smart energy use, how to grow food organically and responsibly and to care for their environment on the school campus. We want our kids to grow up knowing that their actions and decisions have an impact on the world around them.

By learning about sustainability as part of their school life, the campus becomes an extension of the classroom. At Palos Verdes School Gardens, we believe that is all part of a 21st century education.
