ELKA Child Care shows what hands-on early learning can look like in Lake County.

With support from Legacy Foundation, the Happy Learner Garden gave children the chance to grow, harvest, and taste fresh produce they helped raise themselves.

In honor of National Gardening Day, we are proud to celebrate a project that helped children learn, work together, and take pride in what they created.

And now, we’re investing in even more community-rooted projects through the Lake County Resilience Grant. Currently accepting applications.
