The Pacific Garden Program, with its interactive edible gardens, has an educational mission; its purpose is not to grow produce, but to show how produce is grown. We bring together people of all generations to grow food, learn to be more responsible consumers of food, have an enriching encounter with nature, and build community in a common space.
Our main beneficiaries are students at University of the Pacific - our interactive gardens are meant to be experiential learning spaces where students can connect classroom learning to hands-on learning, and we expect the lessons to go far beyond the basics of food growing.
