A networking session for organizations and individuals that support multiple school gardens
At no other time in the school garden movement has there been so many support organizations for school garden development. Across the nation, foundations, non-profits, school districts, states and universities are working to institutionalize school gardens in their regions. The goals of our gathering are for school garden support organizations to share successful models for sustaining regional-based school garden programs and to determine a strategy for these organizations (and others not in the room) to continue networking virtually and face to face. This is a free event is hosted by the National School Garden Network Forum and The Captain Planet Foundation. Please register through the conference registration process.
