Sunflower Hill Garden: Cultivating Fresh, Organic Produce and Opportunities
Each year, the Sunflower Hill Garden produces thousands of pounds of fresh, organic produce planted and harvested by our program participants. Over 90% of this bounty is donated to local nonprofits, supporting community needs. In addition, we provide weekly flower bouquet donations to Hope Hospice patients and residents of Heritage Estates, bringing joy and comfort. The remaining produce benefits our program participants and is shared through our Farmer’s Market program for Irby Ranch residents.
Co-founded by Christina Bogert and Lynn Monica, the Sunflower Hill Garden, located at the historic Hagemann Ranch in Livermore, CA, broke ground in 2015. The garden was established to offer educational and vocational horticultural experiences for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, creating meaningful opportunities for growth and learning.
