EnrichLA EnrichLA: An edible garden in every Los Angeles school!

We believe that all children and young adults, regardless of economic status, have the right to first class public education in a healthy and inspiring environment. To that effect, our purpose is to assist public schools to enrich the learning experience (increase the amount of green spaces on campus) by building edible gardens and other green spaces for the benefit of all students and the surrounding community, and by staffing them and endowing related programs.

What a perfect way to bring our lesson, “Farm to Table to Farm,” to life. 🌿

The students made these adorable little seed pouches and wrote planting instructions on pretty paper tags.

The kids and office staff loved them—and many took some home to plant.

We grew it.
We saved it.
We shared it.
And now… we’re growing it again. 🌱

That’s the garden cycle in action. 💚

And just like that… Garden Class is back! 🌱

The first week of our Garden Program is already blooming with curiosity, discovery, and deliciousness!

From a bountiful harvest… 🥕🌿
to getting up close with nature and investigating the garden with magnifying glasses… 🔍

Our students are learning that the garden is a classroom full of wonders—there’s always something new to see, smell, touch, and taste.

And of course, we always end with a little garden-to-table goodness!

Here’s to another year of growing, learning, tasting, and getting our hands dirty! 🌱

You guys… this garden is SHOWING OUT! 🍉

Fifteen watermelons sprawling across the garden, soaking up the summer sun and getting bigger by the day. 🍉🍉🍉

And the best part? The students are coming back today and will see what their garden has been growing while they were away. ❤️

Now the big question… WHO’S READY FOR HARVEST DAY?! 🍉🙌🏽

There’s something magical about these little creatures—patient hunters, elegant predators, and living proof that the garden is full of secrets if you just slow down and look. Moments like these never get old for our Rangers💚🌿🪲

There’s nothing quite like stepping underneath a grape arbor on a hot summer day. 🍇☀️

Nothing beats sharing the harvest! 🌿🍅

Our garden at West Vernon Elementary is producing, and we were excited to share some of the fresh harvest with the amazing LA’s BEST teachers. Thank you for all you do to create a fun, safe, and enriching environment for students throughout the summer. We hope you enjoy these fresh garden goodies—you’ve earned them! 💚🥬

Just one week after installation, the new garden at Saturn Elementary is already growing strong! 🌱 The school has begun sharing flyers with families and community members, and garden classes start this September. Building gardens, growing community, and creating outdoor classrooms—this is how we do it! 🌻

Summer Garden Care officially begins this week! 🌱☀️

Over the next few months, our Garden Rangers will be caring for more than 200 school gardens across Los Angeles County, helping keep them thriving while students are away for summer break.

Sometimes the gardens we visit aren’t even the ones we’ve cared for throughout the school year, which makes discovering each garden’s unique successes even more exciting. One of those successes is this sweet little garden at Las Flores Elementary in Bellflower, where Ranger Annie planted butternut squash early enough to produce more than 20 squash already on the vine—with more appearing every day!

It’s always so much fun to see what is growing across our network of school gardens and to help ensure every garden is healthy, productive, and ready to welcome students back in the fall. 🥕🌻🍅
