About Solano Gardens
Solano Gardens collaborates with community members and organizations to create edible gardens based on the principles of permaculture to serve as a source of fresh produce, inspiration and companionship for people in need across diverse communities. Each garden design is unique to the community it serves and cared for by community champions passionate about sustainable food.
We continue to look for sites that would benefit from food-producing gardens. Have a site in mind?

What Solano Gardens Offers
The Solano Gardens program has grown beyond its original scope of creating and supporting gardens that provide access to fresh produce in communities that have historically experienced limited access to healthy food. With the expansion of the program, the broader goal is to help Solano communities regain control over the growing, sharing and preparing of food in the following ways:
- Create and support community gardens
- Provide resources to community gardens and home gardeners, such as
- Plants, seeds and trees
- Chickens and coops
- Beehives with bees
- Aquaponics kits
- Creating a network of support for residents interested in producing their own food
- Culinary training classes for youth with fresh, seasonal produce
- A farm feasibility study of best approaches to support farming and food production in Solano County
