Our Programs

The Alviso Adobe Gardening Collective, located at Pleasanton's historic Alviso Adobe Community Park, is a collaborative initiative with the City of Pleasanton designed to cultivate inclusive connections. This program creates a hands-on, sensory-rich outdoor sanctuary where local youth and families of all abilities can engage with nature and one another. By removing barriers to participation, we are fostering a nurturing environment for education, growth, and community bonding. It is more than just planting seeds; it is about rooting our families in a shared, accessible space where every child is welcome to thrive.

At the Alviso Adobe Gardening Collective, we focus on individual growth within a supportive group setting. Whether it's mastering a new skill or simply enjoying the company of peers, every moment is crafted to be inclusive and sensory-aware.

Craft Tasting is a unique intergenerational program designed to bring joy and connection to our community. This program invites youth and seniors to come together in a relaxed, low-pressure environment. Participants can sample a variety of crafts, from painting to beadwork, or simply enjoy a board game with a new friend. It is a space where everyone is welcome to participate at their own pace, whether that means diving into a project or just observing and enjoying the company. We provide all the materials and a sensory-friendly atmosphere to ensure a comfortable experience for all neurotypes.
