Through funding and support from The Wilmas Charitable Trust, the Apple Valley Unified School District, SouthWest Gas Co., Apple Valley Rotary, Victor Valley College, and countless volunteers, the When You Garden, You Grow! garden was created on the school grounds of Yucca Loma School. Situated in the heart of the community surrounding Yucca Loma School, the garden was designed to be a community gathering spot for residents desiring to grow foods; a spot for fellowship with others in the community; a place for educational classes and programs to occur; and an area of beauty for the neighborhood in need of revitalization.

Garden beds, a greenhouse, arbor, and a community seating area have been created in the garden.

Through the Corporation for National Service, an AmeriCorps VISTA volunteer was placed in the garden for one and a half years to help with the establishment of these projects.

If you’d like to contribute to the prosperity of the garden, there are several  different ways in which you can help:.
