American Heart Association

Greg and Jessica Coleman and the GALLO are proud supporters of the American Heart Association, which recently celebrated 100 years of lifesaving research and training. Children’s Garden is part of the Healthy for Life Initiative through the American Heart Association. We provide stipends to local Community Based Organizations (CBO) so they can visit the garden, learn about ‘eating the rainbow’ and have hands on CPR Training.

Love Modesto

Each year, Love Modesto organizes hundreds of citizens to participate in various volunteer projects throughout several cities in our county. Modesto Children’s Garden benefits from the support of these volunteers and leverages it to create transformational change in children and our community.

MO Fresh

As the Visit Modesto website exclaims: Something’s always fresh in Modesto! Our relationship with this program draws attention to its important work and ours! Remember that Modesto’s world-renowned fruit season runs April through August. We encourage everyone to enjoy all the fun (and delicious!) outdoor activities our area has to offer.

Master Gardeners of Stanislaus County

The UC Davis Master Gardeners of Stanislaus County visit Children’s Garden once a month. This passionate group of gardeners brings educational materials and interactive supplies for children to participate at no cost. Children learn about vermiculture, germination and even making scarecrows!

Kaiser Permanente

Volunteers from Kaiser Permanente visit Children’s Garden on a regular basis to help maintain the garden and participate in special projects. Many of the employees also bring their children and enjoy their time together finding meaningful ways to give back to their community!
