    Hi, my name is Jamilla Jones, and I'm looking for advice regarding starting a gardening program for young children.  I was a teacher and administrator for over 25 years.  In addition, I'm a classically trained chef and avid vegetable gardener.  Currently, I'm an executive director for a nature organization, but my heart is in growing, teaching, and cooking with children.  Has anyone done this without going into conventional education settings?  If so, did you start a nonprofit or LLC? Where did you grow? My dream is to have an alternative school focusing on nature, gardening, and stewardship. I don't know how to get started.
