We are a collaboration of garden coordinators, classroom teachers, parent volunteers and community partners dedicated to the creation and support of sustainable garden and nutrition-based learning programs for students in Sonoma County.

The School Garden Network (SGN) provides students with opportunities to establish a life-long dedication to the environment and their communities, to develop a healthy understanding of nutrition, and to further their academic achievement through hands-on learning.

Schoolyard Habitat Program

 

School Garden Network is pleased to announce a new collaboration with

US Fish and Wildlife's Schoolyard Habitat Program

The Schoolyard Habitat Program helps teachers and students create wildlife habitat at their own schools. A schoolyard habitat project is a naturalized area that is used for classroom field studies and observations. A well-designed project that is integrated into the curriculum will help foster long-term ecological stewardship in children of all ages. Qualified schools or organizations serving kindergarten through 12th grade students are eligible for funding and may receive up to $8,000 for their projects!

School Garden Network Receives 3 Grants!

School Garden Network is excited to announce that we recently received three generous grants.  The Community Foundation of Sonoma County facilitated two of the grants from the Semilla Fund and the Mayflower Fund.  The third grant came from the Sonoma County Vintners Foundation.  We want to express our gratitude to these foundations for enabling us to carry out our mission of supporting school gardens and bringing nutrition programs to schools in Sonoma County.  Thank you!

RESOURCES: Getting Started.
A school garden is not likely to last or be fully used without broad support from the school community. So the first job of someone wishing to start a garden is to gather support.
