San Diego Floral Association
Gardening Angel Program

Our Gardening Angel Program is part of our Garden Grant Program. It consists of energetic and devoted high school students, students from youth organizations and/or college students who are willing to roll up their sleeves and help our elementary school, small farms and community garden during their educational classes and work days.

Our Gardening Angels are dedicated to community service, leadership and research and work alongside teachers, gardeners, farmers and other organizers who have developed educational programs at their locations. Volunteering in the community promotes teamwork, trust, sharing and cooperation
If your group is interested in becoming a part of the San Diego Floral Association’s Gardening Angel Program, please contact Kathy Esty at outreach@sdfloral.org.

Our Gardening Angels:

UCSD, Psi Chi Club

UC San Diego's chapter of Psi Chi, the international honors society in psychology, is dedicated to community service, leadership, scholarship, and research. The chapter is unique, in that it umbrellas Psychology Club, therefore, welcoming all students to meetings and events. Fall 2018 marked the chapter's 25th anniversary and it currently has over 200 active members. Students are interested in different disciplines of psychology ranging from cognitive, social, clinical, neuroscience, business, and developmental; some are working towards becoming therapists while others aim to become researchers. Yet, what they hold in common is their joy in helping others in the San Diego community. The UC San Diego chapter of Psi Chi and psychology club supports students in becoming stronger applicants for graduate programs and the professional field. They are thrilled to engage in their partnership with the San Diego Floral Association and the Gardening Angel Program.

Mission: To promote the knowledge and appreciation of horticulture and floriculture in the San Diego region.
