About CSGN

CSGN is a collaboration of state agencies, private companies, educational institutions and non-profit organizations all dedicated to the mission of creating and sustaining gardens in every willing school in California. The Network serves as a central hub to distribute school garden resources and support throughout the state.

The California School Garden Network sprouted with the goal of facilitating the connection between resource organizations and educators by combining efforts to strengthen contributions and avoid duplications.

The Network's mission to create and sustain California school gardens to enhance academic achievement, a healthy lifestyle, environmental stewardship and community and social development.

"When I get into the garden I feel like I am in another world. I feel special because it has a part of me. I planted something"
