Community and the environment are a priority for LAcarGUY, and that is why we have sponsored an urban school garden at Helen Bernstein High School as part of Environmental Media Association 's (EMA) School Garden Program. The goal of the LAcarGUY garden is to teach and motivate children via hands-on experience, while creating a connection with nature and an appreciation of where food comes from. In addition, one of EMA's Young Hollywood board members ("i.e." Amy Smart, Olivia Wilde, Rosario Dawson, Lance Bass) will be recruited to mentor and actively engage the students.Toyota of Hollywood School Garden Groundbreaking

Toyota of Hollywood’s School Gardens Program is off to a great start! During the first week of the program, the LA Conservation Corps worked strenuously to remove the pre-existing shrubbery and brush and flatten out the garden area. Later in the week LA Conservation Corps built wooden garden beds and filled them with nutrient-rich soil to support a healthy garden.
Next week, the garden will really start to take shape when students at Helen Bernstein High School will start planting the first seedlings in the garden beds. We can’t wait to get the students involved in this wonderful program!
