Registration is now open for Cook County Extension’s popular School and Community Garden Training: Saturday March 13, 9 am – 1 pm via Zoom.

Please feel free to share our Facebook Event with your networks  https://fb.me/e/doeB30MGK

Delivered virtually this year, this training will offer an overview of the resources that Extension can offer your organization.

We ask that at least three representatives (may include staff, volunteers, parents, teachers, garden coordinators, administrators) from your garden attend Extension’s free garden training to jump-start planning, recruit helpers, schedule garden installations and develop programming.

During this program we will break out into smaller groups for tailored information to your specific needs. Please select two break out groups to attend. Each session will be repeated twice:

1. Vegetable Gardening
2. Ornamentals, Native Plants, and Conservation@Home for Communities
3. Donation Gardens and Nutrition Curriculum
4. Garden Management Problem Solving

For on demand information, please visit Cook County Extension’s School Garden Resources website.
