Approximately 20% are teaching gardens at schools which we use CNGF volunteer labor to help build. The remaining 80% are private homes, churches or small businesses. Clients served: The schools we have built gardens for have approximately 750 students. Our private clients are approximately 45 people per year, churches are 250 people per year, and or businesses are 15 people per year. 5395 8100 Nature Camp: Our summer camp is held at our Sustainable Sites.org internationally certified ELSEE (Environmental Lab for Sustainability and Ecological Education) teaching gardens. We are the only certified teaching garden recognized in Santa Clara County, with 200 bench marks that protect ecosystems services in our urban environment. We taught between 50 students for seven weeks. Camp begins at 9am and ends at 3pm. We also offer early drop and late pick up options for working families. Besides at ELSEE, the classes are also taught at Hester Farms, a nearby teaching, training and research farm largely managed by volunteers and overseen by professional staff. The teachers are college students majoring in Early Childhood Education, Environmental Science, Biology, or the Arts. The program is managed by a professional pre-K and a specialist in 6-12-year-old outdoor learning. Over the years, CNGF has developed up to 100 lesson plans in outdoor STEAM education, specifically designed to be taught in a SITES-certified outdoor classroom. Once a week, the campers take field trips led by a naturalist who studied with Native American tribes, and takes campers and families to city and county parks with natural plant communities and riparian. 3179 3554 Plant Sales/Farmers Market: Weekly farmers market; sales of native plants at our garden 431229 true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 19 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 8 8 false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false CA X Alrie Middlebrook 4086661518 76 Race St San Jose CA 95126 X Melissa Blum President 2.50 X 0 0 0 Sherry Kaufman Director 2.50 X 0 0 0 Steven Sanders Director 2.50 X 0 0 0 Sanhita Datta Director 2.50 X 0 0 0 Allegra Watson Secretary 2.50 X 0 0 0 Arike van de Water Director 2.50 X 0 0 0 Dennis Dowling Director 2.50 X 0 0 0 Harvey Darnell Director 2.50 X 0 0 0 Jessicka Chamberlin Director 2.50 X 0 0 0 David Shapiro Treasurer 2.50 X 0 0 0 x x 0.00 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 true false false 0 0 0 3957 0 0 78548 0 82505 Nature Camp/Pre-K/Parent Co-op 8100 8100 0 Plant Sales/Farmers Market 3554 3554 Design/Build/Maintain 566500 566500 578154 Veggielution 2500 2500 Educare 3000 3000 Venue Rental Income 400 400 5900 666559 584054 0 0 X 100 100 177279 151135 24790 1354 44653 38068 6245 340 131344 108433 22411 500 1593 1593 1018 1018 6842 6842 98618 98618 907 907 34161 34161 Automobile Expenses 8188 8188 Nursery Operations 7306 7306 Other Program Expenses 2419 2419 Design/Build/Manage Expenses 117965 117965 9566 0 8655 911 641959 569447 69407 3105 14492 12712 8660 9050 5050 4600 10950 10950 10900 39152 37262 1485 2365 11592 5380 13077 7745 X 16492 12712 0 9583 16805 26075 29517 39152 37262 24600 X false false false X 0 27444 24951 13220 32407 78548 176570 36888 70929 279175 467770 588011 1442773 64332 95880 292395 500177 666559 1619343 0 0 0 1619343 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 64332 95880 292395 500177 666559 1619343 1.00000 1.00000 0.00000 0.00000 X 10950 50 10900 10900 Part IX, Line 11g 11g.
