TRACK 1: Creating a Local Food Culture at the Farmers Markets
Track 2: Creating a Local Food Culture through Community
Community gardening is as much about the community as it is gardening. Successful community gardens involve a great deal of planning, organizing and group decision-making on the part of those who will benefit from the garden -- that is, the local community. This session will equip Master Gardener volunteers with some practical tools for how they can help build a community gardening project with broad based community interest and support before officially breaking ground. Whether you are working with individuals or a local organization, the presenters will provide some steps for effectively engaging community members and particularly how to: · determine the garden’s purpose; · solicit diverse ideas and adapt the garden project so it can address specific needs of your community; · identify and build upon community assets and local leaders that can work with the local Extension agent/coordinator to organize and manage important garden tasks; and · gather the necessary resources for a community garden project
