Rio Grande Farm Park Received Colorado Garden Foundation Grant for Outdoor Classroom and Learning Garden

On February 20th 2026, the SLV Local Foods Coalition officially accepted a $10,000 grant from Colorado Garden Foundation for the purpose of building an outdoor classroom and further developing our learning garden at the Rio Grande Farm Park for youth in the San Luis Valley. Thanks to these funds, the Farm Park will need plenty of volunteers to help with the classroom’s construction – including building a pergola, building up the soil and planting in our pollinator and native plant gardens, and landscaping.
