August is National Black Business Month, a time to acknowledge and support Black-owned businesses nationwide. Today, we’re celebrating one of our close partners, We Start Gardens (WSG)! 🌱

WSG was founded by Derek Bryant, an expert Master Gardener, Master Composter, and community garden manager for the City of Santa Clara. WSG transforms unused land into thriving green spaces. Their mission: collaborate with landowners, schools, and neighborhoods to create sustainable gardens, teach food and medicine cultivation, promote food security, and build resilient local food systems through education, resource sharing, and environmental stewardship.

What started as Derek’s small backyard garden has now grown into gardens across Santa Clara County. WSG offers unique experiences like medicinal tea workshops, gourd crafting classes, and even custom garden design and installation for your home.

We’re proud to work alongside Derek at SoFA Pocket Park, where he helps manage the garden and lead events. Visit during First Fridays (5–8:30 pm) for garden tours, lessons, and herb plant sales; and learn from Derek’s incredible expertise.

We encourage you to learn more about WSG at www.westartgardens.com!

Last month, our team joined educators, curriculum designers, and public space leaders from across the country at The American Horticultural Society’s National Children & Youth Garden Symposium to share how we’re training Latinx community leaders on climate leadership in East San José.

We highlighted our Train-the-Trainer model and its impact through:
🌿 DORA Program – Supporting parents, caregivers, and childcare providers to become environmental leaders
🌿 Dig Crew Program – Preparing East Side youth with 100 hours of leadership, facilitation, and environmental education training
🌿 Juntos Park Prescription Initiative – Connecting families to farming, outdoor play, and climate action

It was inspiring to see how other counties are creating innovative outdoor learning spaces, and we’re proud to bring our own community-led approach to the national stage.

We’re honored to receive the Bold Steps for Children Award from Kids in Common for our role in the Juntos Park Prescription Initiative! 🌿

Through this partnership with Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, doctors “prescribe” nature outings to improve youth health. Veggielution is one of the many special places families visit during the program. It’s been inspiring to see children and their loved ones come together, explore the outdoors, and experience the healing power of nature.

A special thank you to Kids in Common for recognizing our work, and to our incredible partners County of Santa Clara Public Health Department, Valley Medical, San José Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services, and Santa Clara County Parks for making this program possible!
