Children’s Garden Project
It is the mission of the Children’s Garden Project to provide young children with opportunities to learn about health and nutrition, to actively participate in caring for their own garden and to gain first-hand sensory experiences of the natural world. Proper nutrition and physical activity can promote the social and cognitive development of young children, improve a child’s readiness to learn, and help to protect against the overweight and obesity problems that are now epidemic across the nation. Educational field trips to the gardens are open to children 5 years of age and under and their families. Funded by a grant from: First Five Trinity County Trinity County Children & Families First Commission through Proposition 10, a voter-approved initiative that generated funds through a tax on tobacco products to improve outcomes for young children. The Council is very grateful for the First 5 funding and makes very efficient use of those dollars. However, the garden suffered a few setbacks from theft and pests last season that the Council is still in the process of overcoming with its current limited resources. The Council would gladly accept donations to help reinvigorate the Children's Garden Project. Find us on facebook. We have recently partnered with Trinity County Health & Human Services to host the Hayfork Learning Garden and offer educational hands-on activities and cooking demonstrations.
We're currently in the process of redesigning the Children's Garden Project to accommodate COVID safety guidelines. Please stay posted for updates on facebook for open hours updates and information on special events.
