School Gardens
Long Beach Organic recently decided
to expand its mission to education. Beside providing green
spaces, LBO seeks to educate children and adults of all ages
about the benefits of toxic-free gardens and foods. We are
currently working with teachers and parents in the Long Beach
area to implement more school gardens in our community. If
you are interested, please call us at 562/438-9000.

2,500 square-foot lot
that has been converted to a beautiful garden where
the kids learn once a week.

City of Long Beach Fourth
District Elementary Schools
In 2002 City Councilor Dennis Carroll
allocated $29,000 in discretionary funds for the development
or expansion of school gardens at elementary schools in
Long Beach's Fourth District. Eight of the nine elementary
schools in this district have taken advantage of these
funds, and LBO is serving as the primary consultant for
their garden projects. |
