This in-person, two-day workshop is designed to provide participants with the knowledge, skills, and resources to plan, develop, and sustain an edible school or community garden.  Participants must attend both days. Day 1 (in the classroom): Be ready for an action-packed day focused on developing and implementing a sustainable garden program.  Participants will describe how a garden extends beyond the “site” to reinforce community-wide PSE efforts, build a garden strategic plan, and practice developing and delivering garden program messaging that will resonate with any audience. Day 2 (in the garden): Dig your hands into the soil, and discover new techniques in this all-day garden skills workshop.  Focused on designing your garden space and conducting a garden analysis, participants will classify soil types, determine when and where in the garden to plant crops, demonstrate harvesting techniques, and install a drip irrigation system. Space is limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.  If you are interested in attending, please fill out the registration form.  Additional trainings will be held throughout the state in FFY 24.

Join this webinar to hear real-life examples of how local implementers are turning this vision into reality.
