High Valley Community Center school community garden | [-] |
The HVCC community garden is located on the north end of the HVCC property. It's flourished since it began in 2010 under the careful eye and skilled hands of many volunteer gardeners. We can't mention the garden, however, without acknowledging a debt of gratitude and appreciation to Suzanne Gosar and Pauline Washburn for their amazing green thumbs, tons of hard work, and overall generosity. Each summer the Summer Arts & Rec students learn about caring for the garden and eating the produce.

The Valley Educational Gardens Initiative (V.E.G.I.) is a program of La Puente Home, Inc. that connects community members in the San Luis Valley with opportunities to grow food and eat nutritious food through hands-on educational lessons, events, and volunteer opportunities.
Boyd Community Garden hosts weekly Garden Nights during the growing season, and contributes thousands of pounds of produce each year to benefit the Food Bank Network of the San Luis Valley, the homeless shelter, school cafeteria meals, and community meals.
V.E.G.I. partners with schools and community agencies to provide garden spaces, lessons, and camps, resources, and to share the many benefits of growing food as a community.
