  • 1.  Adopt a Garden Program

    Posted 07-12-2024 10:36:00 AM

    Hello everyone,

    Detroit Public Schools Farm and Garden Program is looking to implement some type of adopt a garden program, hopefully getting local businesses to buy in to school gardens in their neighborhood. I am wondering if anyone in this group is familiar with an adopt a garden program in your area, or if your school garden program follows this model. Please let me know!

    Check out Denver Urban Garden (DUG).  It looks like they've had some success with this model.  I'm going to start a push for this soon for our 16 partner school gardens, looking for sponsors for the cost of our garden support and academic programming.  Fingers crossed!
