About
Home Garden ProgramIn 2018, the program expanded from individual homes gardens to include two affordable housing complexes, serving primarily low-income seniors, in San Jose with a cohort total of 86 households. Each participant received a set of garden supplies: a raised-bed garden at home and seasonal seedlings to grow fresh, organic vegetables. The families attended a monthly workshops and events for one year. Workshop topics have included: seed germination and seedling care, composting, garden maintenance, water-wise gardening, harvesting, cultural foods and diversity, pest management and food storage. The Home Garden program maintains a high diversity in participants offering workshops in Spanish, Mandarin, and Vietnamese in addition to English. During our two planting seasons, Valley Verde provided free seedlings for 80 alumni of the Home Gardening program, indicating a continued and long-term engagement in growing their own food.
