Support Our Cause

Help us build new gardens!

At Ready, Set, Grow! School Garden Network, every gift—whether financial or in-kind—directly helps children in Placer County and beyond experience the joy of growing, tasting, and learning from their very own gardens. With the closure of UC CalFresh, many Title I schools have lost their only source of garden-based nutrition education. That’s where we step in.

Your support ensures we can provide classrooms with garden lessons, supply teachers and parent-docents with the tools they need, and help students discover a lifelong love of healthy food. Whether you choose to make a donation or contribute much-needed supplies, you are planting seeds of health, learning, and community.

Help Us Plant the Future!

With UC CalFresh gone, Title I schools in Placer County are losing their only source of garden and nutrition education. Our goal is to raise $10,000 to bring school gardens and hands-on lessons to students who need them most.
​
Every dollar helps us:
​
Build and maintain thriving school gardens
Provide seeds, soil, and tools for classrooms
Train parents and volunteers as School Garden Docents
Bring fresh fruits and vegetables straight to kids’ plates
​
Together, we can ensure no child misses out on the chance to learn, grow, and taste the joy of a garden.
