Fresno California- School Community Garden

The Giving Garden at Rata High School is a functional garden producing vegetables, fruit and plants that is accessible to all students regardless of ambulatory ability.



I pass this school project everyday, it is such a lovely space, the design of the space.
Rata High School is a 7-12 grade Special Education Center located in northwest Fresno adjacent to Tenaya Middle School. Rata provides age-appropriate educational opportunities in a high school setting for students with the most severe disabilities.

The Giving Garden provides a stimulating resource for students of all abilities. The garden creates a variety of multi-sensory tasks and helps nurture social and emotional needs. Students are able to practice real-life skills by harvesting, preparing, cooking and selling items from their garden.
The Giving Garden was created by Rata PTA, California Ag Leadership Class 40, Netafim and a community of volunteers.


This is a good idea to attend a conference annual to celebrate, and share garden information.
