Growing School Gardens Across Placer County
Ready, Set, Grow! School Garden Network partners with elementary schools to build and sustain outdoor classrooms where children learn through gardening, nutrition, science, and environmental stewardship.
In 2026, we are expanding from our pilot garden at Spanger Elementary into a growing network of partner schools — bringing hands-on outdoor learning to thousands of students across Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, and surrounding communities.
6 partner schools by 2026
4,000+ students reached annually
13,000+ projected garden-learning hours
500+ projected garden lessons each year
Our school garden has been transformed, and the children are now more engaged and excited about learning. Thank you, Ready, Set, Grow! School Garden Network!

What's Growing in 2026
Ready, Set, Grow! is working with schools at different stages of garden development — from established gardens ready for curriculum support to brand-new garden builds that will transform unused spaces into outdoor classrooms.
This year’s expansion includes garden revitalizations, new raised beds, outdoor classroom areas, native pollinator plantings, irrigation improvements, tool storage, produce washing stations, and docent-led garden lessons.
