It's time for our Garden Development Institute!

IT'S TIME!!

...for the Fall Community & School Garden Development Institute!

Thinking of growing together? The Community & school Garden Development
Institute is a series of practical and hands on sessions for groups
interested in starting and maintaining organic gardens in community
settings. The five Monday evening sessions of the Institute (October
16, 23, 30 November 6 and November 13 , from 6:30-9:30 pm) will cover
key aspects of developing and sustaining gardens, emphasizing how
your garden team can effectively
plan, start & maintain garden. Are you a part of a group ready to take
the plunge and start a garden? Head to www.growinghope.net to download
the applications for the class. Applications are due October 9th! We
strongly encourage phone calls in advance to talk about your groups
interest.

To qualify for the Institute interested groups must have at least 5
dedicated garden team members, at least 3 of who must attend all 4
Institute sessions. Groups can be neighborhood or community groups,
faith-based organizations, non-profit agencies or service clubs,
schools, groups of neighbors, or businesses.

Do you know of or are part of a group that would like to learn more
about what it takes to start a community or school garden? We'd love
to make a presentation about the Institute, Growing Hope, and community
gardens in general. Please get in touch!
