Event Details

The Children’s Garden Jamboree is a free, family-focused event to celebrate the official opening of the garden at Los Guilicos (1 Los Guilicos Road, Santa Rosa, CA) and recognize the many volunteers and donors who contributed to its restoration after the 2020 Glass Fire. It features a vegetable and pollinator themed garden. All of the food produced goes to the Valley of the Moon Children’s Center. In the future, the garden will be used to educate school children about sustainable gardening — especially in under-served communities.

The Jamboree will showcase the many Master Gardener projects across the county and include youth activities, garden demonstrations and presentations. There will also be a pop-up succulent sale. Supervisor Susan Gorin is the featured speaker for the event.

We appreciate the donors who have generously supported the Children's Garden: California Flora Nursery, Hunter, Image Tree Service, Kendall-Jackson, Santa Rosa Sunrise Rotary Club, Soiland, and Wyatt Irrigation Company. Stay tuned for more details.
