Community Garden Leadership Training
A community garden is a place for food, friends, flowers and community. Find out how to contribute to the economic, social, and environmental vitality of your neighborhood by starting a community garden. In this workshop, we will cover: community organizing, how to secure land, garden organization structures, and fundraising & community outreach.
We will also take a tour of the East Austin Community Garden near UT Elementary School led by one of the community garden coordinators.
There is a high interest in community gardening in Austin, and very limited spaces available at the current community gardens. Come learn about how we can work together to start more gardens!
