- Anna Franklin★★★★★
Family friendly garden that constantly hosts classes and community events promoting healthy eating. My kids have participated in classes here for a few years now and have had a positive experience each and every time. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the gorgeous Queen Anne historic home is the icing on the cake of this wonderful property.

We have worked together for over 8 years and as the National City Chamber of Commerce we have had events like mixers at Olivewood Gardens, and they are very helpful, and they are a great opportunity to have events and Mixers. Thank you, Olivewood Gardens!

This is an amazing, thoughtful educational food program. It offers many learning opportunities for families to eat well as well as provides food to insecure neighbors.
