Living Classroom - Garden-Based Education for TK-8th graders

Living Classroom's mission is to inspire children to learn about and value the natural world through garden- based education. We make education come alive and empower the next generation by growing environmental champions, inquisitive learners, and healthy eaters who know where their food comes from. Our 50 engaging, hands-on, NGSS-aligned lessons stimulate curiosity and are taught in the beautiful and educational school gardens we create and maintain.  Learn more about our history.​

California State Park Health Guidelines

​Many Parks and Open Spaces continue to be open and a necessary part of public health during the shelter in place order.  Please be advised that as of March 24, 2020 state park officials are taking measures to reduce the number of people coming to public parks which include some park closures. Get more information on park closures here. We must each do our part to protect the health and safety of ourselves and others. 

Do your part by following these guidelines:

• Maintain a safe distance of 6 feet or more from others
• Stay home if you or anyone else in your household are experiencing symptoms of illness
• Do not congregate at parks or other public places
• Take out your own trash when you are at the park
• Choose less populated parks near your home
• Visit open parks
