Subject: Community Chat on Summer Garden Programming
Set your gardens up for success this summer at next week's Community Chat on summer garden programming! This Chat will focus on garden programs (and home gardens or other informal gardens) that have active youth participation over the summer. We can talk about ideas for running a summer camp, programming for multiple age groups, tips for abundant harvests, dealing with weather challenges, and anything else you'd like to discuss. From those new to gardening to seasoned educators, everyone is welcome!
And if you can't make the Chat, you can still register to drop your questions in the registration form or add them here for the Community to chime in!
Summer Garden Programming Community Chat: May 23rd, 3-4PM ET
