How We Impact the Community

School gardens don’t just grow plants—they grow community, hands-on learning, and environmental stewardship. We share resources with teachers, schools, and community partners to strengthen garden programs. We are a grassroots collective dedicated to sustaining school gardens and the educators behind them.

School gardens with dedicated committees and curriculum are 4x more likely to succeed—and we’re here to help make that happen. Our Board members serve on garden committees to help schools access knowledge, funding, and community connections. Through special grants and pilot programs, like our Monarch Education Project, we support schools with innovative, sustainable garden projects.

Your donation brings these opportunities to schools that need them most. Your support will also help create The Sunflower Award to honor school garden projects and student gardeners.

Testimonial

Napa School Gardens fosters a movement that plants seeds for a brighter, more connected future for all children, teachers, and communities. I’m inspired by their vision and leadership. Carrie’s guidance has empowered me to advocate for school gardens and their lasting impact on children’s growth, wellbeing, and environmental stewardship.
