Community gardens are vibrant shared spaces for growing fresh food, learning, and building friendships. Create or strengthen one in your neighborhood! In this interactive training from Sustainable Food Center, we will cover: locating community support and resources for your garden, accessing land and water, organizing a strong garden team, school-specific strategies and guidelines, garden management, and more. You’ll hear from a community garden leader about his/her experiences starting and sustaining his/her garden, and you’ll have a chance to meet Meredith Gray, Coordinator of the City of Austin’s Community Garden Program.
If you are interested in creating a school garden, this training is also for you. The content of this training is similar to that of the School Garden Leadership Training.
