The Loma Garden
About Our Garden
The Loma Prieta Garden is a community effort. Our garden was started as outdoor classroom space during the school rebuilding effort after the 1989 earthquake , and then rebuilt again by parent volunteers in 2019 with higher beds, better weed control, a new herb garden & fruit trees.
TODAY, the garden program is entirely run by parent volunteers who teach easy garden lessons once a week to their children's classes. Our kids THRIVE with more outdoor time, the ability to pick and eat garden snacks each week, and learning about fruits and veggies from seed & tuber to table!
Our garden is ENTIRELY funded by parent donations, company matching donations, and small grants from the Loma Prieta Club.
Our History
Our Santa Cruz Mountains are home to a rich multicultural history - we have preserved some of our agricultural biodiversity in the plants that we grow in the Loma Garden. See our historical signs below...
