Sunflower Hill Gardens Update
 
2017 was a very successful year in the Sunflower Hill Gardens! This past year we had 202 special needs ranchers at our gardens from 14 different high school transition and adult day programs as well as family workdays. We are very proud that the teachers and leaders that attend regularly rated the SFH Gardens programs 4.67 out of 5 in comparison to other programs they participate it. In addition, we had six special needs interns volunteering in the garden and we hired our first special needs employee!

SFH Gardens produced ~13,000 pounds of food in 2017! Through the help of hundreds of volunteers we assembled a beautiful new greenhouse, a wheelchair accessible area, an arbor for our gourds, a pergola, two beautiful benches and we expanded our compost station. It has been a wonderful year, and the special individuals that come to our programs are the reason we have created the Sunflower Hill Gardens!

Our next Family Workday will be Saturday, February 24 from 9:30-11:30 a.m. Our Sunflower Hill Gardens are located at 455 Olivina Avenue in Livermore.

Note: If this will be your first visit to the garden, please fill out and submit our online form here.
