[Communications] [Education] School Visit to Community Garden

[Lorraine Kells]

Angela,

You reached out to CCGA earlier in the month, telling us that you and your
students wanted to learn more about community gardening and
possibly volunteer to work with some of our gardeners as well as visit one
of our gardens.  I'm following up with you to find whether we were able to
assist with your initial request.  Possibilities for engagement exist in
just this kind of moment and we want to make sure it happens in the best
way.

You also asked whether an expert would be willing to speak to your students
and/or potentially arrange a visit.  I believe Latosha  Reggans reached out
to you.

Please let us know what worked for you and how we can better align
resources between schools and CCGA for requests such as yours. We'll be
working on some new features on our website to better facilitate the kind
of request you and others make of CCGA for learning resources and volunteer
opportunities.

Regards,
Lorraine Kells, Co-chair CCGA Education Committee
