The Loma Garden
About Our Garden
The Loma Prieta Garden is a community effort that began as outdoor classroom space after the 1989 earthquake. Parent volunteers rebuilt it in 2019 with raised beds, improved weed control, an herb garden, and fruit trees.
Today, parent volunteers run the garden program, teaching hands-on lessons once a week in their children's classes. Our kids thrive with this outdoor time—picking and eating garden snacks each week while learning how fruits and vegetables grow from seed and 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...
