The Learning Garden needs the ongoing support of numerous individuals, organizations, and the community, both at the garden and financially. Our funding is not guaranteed from any single source, so fundraising is an ongoing activity. When you make a donation, we use the money for a variety of purposes. For example, monies are used to provide a stipend for our Garden Master, to expand our website into a well-rounded educational tool, to match grant monies that fund projects such as the Food Forest (see Partners & Process), to provide workshops and classes to the community, to buy water for our volunteers. The list goes on. Your donation can be designated for a specific purpose or for general use. Either way, your donation is an investment in a healthier future and a stronger, more beautiful community.
Here are some of the ways you can help:

1. Make a generous financial contribution online or by check. Green is a wonderful color!*


2. Add your name permanently to our growing list of contributors by purchasing an elegant paving stone, engraved with your name for $100. Immortality!
