The School Garden Network (SGN) is a non-profit organization of garden program coordinators, teachers, parent volunteers and community partners. SGN supports and promotes sustainable garden- and nutrition-based learning programs in Sonoma County schools, connects school communities with fresh, locally grown foods, and provides a forum for exchanging information and resources. We empower youth to embrace healthy eating habits and to develop respect for and stewardship of all living things. A chapter of the California School Garden Network, SGN has steadily grown its membership base since 2003.
SGN promotes collaboration between educational, health, agricultural and business sectors of the community, and appreciates the support of the Occidental Arts & Ecology Center, Kendall-Jackson Wine Estates, Community Foundation of Sonoma County, Medlock Ames, Exchange Bank, Whole Foods, Sonoma Jail Industries Nursery, Sweetwater Nursery and more!
