GARDEN BUILD
Our gardens are inexpensive, promote community involvement, encourage respect for our delicate planet, act as outdoor classrooms, cheer up school campuses, and promote thoughtful and healthy eating habits!
Designed to be long-lasting, sustainable and easy to use; Garden beds and picnic tables are untreated redwood. We visit a school and help identify the most appropriate location. We work with the school district to obtain permits. On average, we ask schools to contribute anywhere from $8,000 to $25,000 towards the cost, depending on the scope. Gardens can include up to 8 garden beds, shade sails, 3 to 4 picnic tables, garden signs, chalkboards, and an automated drip irrigation system. We are can-do and creative. 200+ school greenspaces.
