    Hi! Everyone is invited to join our 8/15 Community Chat on starting a youth garden! This is an informal Zoom meetup where Community members can ask questions and share advice and support each other.

    This Community Chat is perfect for anyone who is just getting started and for those who have started gardens before and can lend some advice. We can chat about gathering support, fundraising, garden design, setting goals, and anything else you'd like to discuss. From those new to gardening to seasoned educators, everyone is welcome!

    If you can't make the Chat, feel free to drop your questions in the registration or here in this thread!
