Pasadena Learning Gardens exists to increase local food production and sustainable landscaping, and to articulate why these are noble goals.
Meetup for Events A Welcome Video…
We support the creation and development of learning gardens: at schools, community gardens, and a few other special places. Assisting each to become the benefit it can be to the whole school / neighborhood community.
For three years we have developed the main outdoor learning facility in Pasadena, the Coral Learning Garden, where we offer numerous classes including programs for at risk youth and the U.C. Master Gardener’s Victory Garden program. We are currently developing the Sanctuary Outdoor Learning Academy at Zorthian Ranch or SOLA, and a community of local sustainable businesses that embrace SOLA, providing expertise and facilities to educate our community. Our goal is to build the models, the organization, and the facilities to help communities become the change we need (located on a 10 acre spring fed oasis).
We also accept the role as digital storyteller of the food revolution – With a radio show on KPFK, videos on YouTube, a thriving Meetup community, a twitter feed, and Facebook page. We intend to tell many compelling stories that point to a new healthier, sustainable direction, and to provide resources for people on this path.
In the end, we aspire to be a resource to whole communities and school districts hoping to grow in these ways. Providing trained experts to facilitate the creation and / or growth of learning garden communities.
Super video! Best wishes for your continued success in such a critically important endeavor. Here’s to more of us caring about our food, where it comes from, how to share it across economic boundaries, and how we can be part of the growing process. S. S. Harper
Dear Pasadena Learning Gardens Network,
We are the filmmakers of Back to Eden, a documentary about organic gardening. We were contacted by you a while back and have been wanting to reconnect with you! The projects you are doing, including the involvement of students, being an inspiration to local schools and your neighborhood is incredible. You guys are a living example of what we desired people to take into their hands after viewing Back to Eden, and you guys have been doing it already! We would love to feature you in our next Newsletter! Visit our site backtoedenfilm.com under the News page to see previous examples. Thank you again for your great works, please be in touch!
