The Founding Five

Meiners Oaks Community Garden (https://www.meinersoakscommunitygarden.com/) is a new 7,500-square-foot community garden located a few miles from downtown Ojai. The garden is made of 38 3'x6' raised garden beds. Community members can rent space to create their own gardens and participate in gardening-based workshops and events. Rental fees include soil, tools and water.

MiniNature Reserve (https://www.mininature.org/), a nonprofit organization based in Oxnard, began in 2021 by Diego Magaña who was inspired by the beauty of natural parks. He started a native plant nursery in his backyard, and with a team of volunteers, he planted the first of several "MiniNature Reserves" in Ventura County. These reserves are pockets of nature within an urban setting aimed at creating green spaces while providing habitats for native plants, pollinators and animals. MiniNature Reserve's plant nursery (https://www.mininature.org/general-8) is now at 1,500 square-foot in Oxnard and is open to the public.

Grow With Mo (https://growwithmo.earth/), based in Ojai, is a garden design, consulting and education company specializing in edible gardens, permaculture and regenerative design. Founder Morgan (Mo) Visalli helps her clients grow vegetable gardens, healthy fruit trees, and create more ecologically friendly landscapes by using organic growing practices.

Ventura County Farm-2-School (https://www.vcfarmtoschool.org/) works with 12 school districts throughout Ventura County supporting over 50 school gardens. More than 30,000 students participate each year in Farm-2-School programs where students learn about nutrition, agriculture, the environment and healthy cooking.

Killdeer Farms (https://killdeerfarms.co/) in West Sacramento is a small, family-owned farm that grows mostly flowers and lavender. Owners Christine and Scott Killdeer sell their flowers once a month from their five-acre farm during their harvest season. Flowers are also available through subscriptions and in bulk.

Members, in turn, highlight their success stories using Agromin materials through their social media channels.
