Sierra Garden provides educational and mentoring activities for at-risk youth in Sonoma County. Residents from Valley of the Moon Children’s Center gain skills while working alongside volunteers in the Sierra garden and kitchen. All proceeds from our sales go to college scholarships for under-served Sonoma County youth. Many of them are the first in their families to attend college. We do this through an organization called 10,000 Degrees. We are open to the public selling vegetable, herb, and flower seedlings in the spring and summer. We sell our harvested food crops and baked goods throughout the summer and early fall.
11/1/2020 Sierra Garden Update
The Garden sustained considerable damage when the Glass Fire raced down Hood Mountain and destroyed Sierra Garden’s greenhouse, raised beds, and the building that held all of the tools, supplies and sales equipment. The dedicated volunteer gardeners are looking forward to rebuilding the Garden in 2021.
Due to Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and its health and economic impact on local families, the gardeners chose to donate all the Garden’s weekly harvests to the local food banks. In the 2020 season, the gardeners donated more than 3,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables to Redwood Empire Food Bank and Friends in Service Here (FISH).
