Leave a lasting legacy at the Los Cerritos Elementary Urban Farmyard! Personalize an engraved brick for the garden pathways. You might create a brick in your business's name, dedicate it in honor or in memory, or just put your family's names. The 4" x 8" bricks are $100, and 8" x 8" are $250. Your brick will be surrounded by children learning sense of responsibility and respect for the environment and all living things for generations.
Proceeds from brick sales will support programming for students in the garden, maintain the garden space. The Los Cerritos Urban Farmyard has been in existence since the year 2000 and occupies a 60’ x 80’ area with 22 raised beds, utilized by all teachers and students. It includes pathways made of decomposed granite, borders of flowers and herbs, 6 fruit trees, benches for an "outdoor classroom," a composting area, a "barn" for storage and a chicken coop.
We are proud to have Ground Education (https://www.groundeducation.com/) working with the students every week in a hands-on experience of planting and maintaining a garden. The cooperative spirit arising through gardening together becomes a strong sense of community and appreciation for others. Students observe worms, insects, lizards, frogs, butterflies and birds naturally in our organic garden. Our chickens are particularly beloved by the students. Come and see for yourself. Let’s get gardening!
