A garden that Steph and Ayesha Curry helped establish at a school in Northern California suffered severe vandalism over the weekend.
The garden, created with support from the Currys’ Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation, was installed at Global Family Elementary School in Oakland during the 2022/23 school year.

Unfortunately, the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) has reported that the garden has been heavily damaged.
According to OUSD officials, vandals “tore apart the planters, ripped out the irrigation system, broke all the wooden benches, damaged a ladder, and left everything in the area in disarray.”
Authorities seek more information
Restoring the garden will require significant resources, while authorities are asking anyone with information about the incident to come forward.
“It’s going to take a lot of time, effort, and resources to repair the school’s garden and return it to its previous pristine condition,” OUSD said in news release.
“It’s unfortunate that anyone would think that causing this kind of damage anywhere would be fun, funny, or a good idea. It only served to hurt the students and staff at the school.”
The Curry’s, who started their foundation in 2019 to support children in their community, have not yet issued a statement regarding the vandalism.
“The garden means a lot to our students,” Global Family Elementary School Principal Juan Vaca said.
“It’s a place where they come and they learn about what goes in the ground and basically what goes into their kitchen…It’s more than just a garden. It’s a place where folks come for self-care.”
