Without our community we would not exist. Friends, supporters, resources, experts, we have many neighbors that make us possible
New Vision Partners acts as our nonprofit umbrella and provides the space for us to create the Coral Learning Garden, and the wonderful kids who learn and play there.
The founding volunteers: Master Gardeners Jill MacArthur, Andrea Martin, Vivian Fortunaso, Chris Martinez, Valerie Graham, and Anke Rice.
We revived a gardening program at Muir High School, For two semesters we collaboratively created a curriculum and we co-taught a Pasadena City College class. This was funded by the Caltech Precollege Science Initiative which made everything possible.
We do a lot of out reach sharing our passion: Museum of Natural History Sustainable Sundays, Pasadena Earth Day, All Saints Earth Day, Pasadena City College Green day, UC Master Gardener training sessions, Conscientious Projector
