Part of building a community is supporting that community. At SolaGarden Naturals, we are passionate about helping others. It all starts with you… because with every product you purchase, you support a person who can use some help. SolaGarden Naturals will donate a percentage of net profits to Big Green, a non-profit building a national school food culture that promotes youth wellness. They are connecting kids to real food through a network of Learning Gardens and food literacy programs.

Big Green was founded in 2011 by Kimbal Musk and Hugo Matheson. Kimbal and Hugo co-founded The Kitchen Restaurant Group together in 2004 and were supporting local school garden initiatives through their restaurants. They were inspired by the way school gardens can help kids increase their preference for nutritious foods, develop healthier responses to stress, and improve their academic performance. They wanted to find a way to achieve that same kind of local impact at scale, so that children all over the country could reap the benefits of a thriving school garden.

Kimbal and Hugo founded Big Green, formerly The Kitchen Community, in order to create a replicable, scalable school garden solution. They built the first-ever Learning Garden in Denver, Colorado at Schmitt Elementary, where it still thrives today.
