Since 1974, the Goleta Valley Beautiful has been pursuing their mission to ensure and improve the beauty of the Goleta Valley. Goleta Valley Beautiful continues to provide beautification and urban forest services in all areas west of the Santa Barbara City line.
Their greenhouse is the foundation of the organization's mission and goals. Currently, GVB is growing 2000 native trees and planting an average of 500 trees annually in the Goleta Valley. The restoration of the greenhouse facilities will advance GVB's primary goals, which aim to support a healthy urban forest, encourage and recognize outstanding beautification efforts, advocate effective public policies, provide environmental education and promote broad community involvement in GVB beautification projects.
The Hind Foundation has provided a grant of $16,708 for the renovation of existing Goleta Valley Beautiful greenhouse facilities with a new irrigation, heating and ventilation system along with new tables and a sensor system.
