Western Growers Foundation was created by Western Growers members as a way to give back to their communities.
The Foundation’s mission is to plant and sustain a fruit and vegetable garden in every willing Arizona and California school. Edible school gardens give children the opportunity to learn where their food comes from and the importance of good nutrition.
“If they grow it, they’ll eat it,” says kindergarten teacher Dianne Swanson. Teachers know it, studies show it: children involved in fruit and vegetable gardens are more likely to eat fresh fruits and vegetables.

WGF accepts monetary donations or gardening supplies, both of which will be distributed to our school gardens.
