An event every day that begins at 6:00 pm, repeating until September 14, 2016
From the Sustainable Food Center –
Join Sustainable Food Center to learn how you can help foster a brighter, healthier future for children in Central Texas through school gardens. This 2-part training is for teachers, parents, and community members interested in starting (or reviving) and sustaining a school garden.
We will discuss the key components to a successful garden, including creating a plan, organizing and building your garden team, site selection and basic design, managing the garden, and finding funds and resources to sustain the garden. We will cover only basic gardening principles but will point you to a variety of resources for more in-depth gardening information (including our gardening classes). You’ll also have the opportunity to meet other school gardeners and find out about community resources and events.
Trainings are for adults. Youth ages 12 and up may attend with close parent/guardian supervision during class.
*CEU credit hours provided through AISD
*Childcare available by request (request must be made up to 2 weeks before the event).
*Snacks will be provided.
Registration closes three business days before class. All attendees must register to attend.
