Vivianna Pena, Volunteer/Parent/Garden Committee Member

Through Dirt Girls, I’ve watched my daughter and her peers blossom, gaining confidence, building respectful friendships, and becoming passionate monarch garden experts. The School Garden Doctor fosters a movement that plants seeds for a brighter , more connected future for all children, teachers, and communities. As a parent and garden committee member, I’m inspired by Carrie Strohl’s vision and leadership. Her guidance has empowered me to advocate for school gardens and their lasting impact on children’s growth, well-being, and environmental stewardship.
