The Sonoma Garden Park mourns Steve Carara, who for nearly 17 years served as manager, chief worker and guiding mind behind the garden before his death from heart failure on May 13.

Carara championed teaching children how their food grows, encouraging elementary school visits to the Garden, and his loss is felt widely by those connected to the park.
