- Programs or services
- Our programs purpose and services are to engage children ages 5-17 to the many health benefits of being out in nature for more then 20 minutes at school each day. To achieve this goal GNTG's well-gardens programs are built around a garden design utiltilized to connect children in a garden setting to engage, discover, connect, converse while maintaining the form and function of the garden space that is ceated for specific age groups. It could be a mini farm, learning to grow food or flowers, planting seeds, harvesting crops, eating of the vines, weeding out their thoughts and tending the vegetable/flower garden with other classmates, creating community engagement and offering a culinary meals from harvested produce or create a micro business or learn about giving by harvesting flower bouquets to sell or give away to those in need. Gardens may also include a passive use such as a sensory experience where space is surounded by lush and large leafy plants with textures to touch smell while listening to the sounds of bamboo windchimes, water trickling from a solar pond and nature sounds providing a calm environment for gathering individually or in small groups, for students to take a break rest, restore & unplug from tech and life's daily stresses by connecting in nature with conversations, playing games, story telling, art or music.

Funding Needs
- Funding needs
- Wellgardens for local Orange county schools creating a nature environment for children's ages 5-17 for wellness, to engage, explore, connect, converse and work through life's issues using the garden and nature as a guide. The benefits of being in nature 20 minutes a day helps our mental outlook plus you get tomatoes! Creating a new school garden from scratch or converting an old school garden for a new refreshed hands on sensory well-garden space cost upwards to 35,000-75,000 per school. We need more funders to add to the current funder to establish and support a full time turn key staff and ware house enabling Goin Native's team to build one dozen or more well garden spaces per year at public and private schools throughout Orange County CA. Our future goals are to move this concept with our current funder to San Diego County. We are looking to raise 1 million dollars over then next two years. Want to join our quest and help children discover their purpose and passion in life through nature?
