    Hi! I would like to start the project "Learning in the garden" in the local kindergarten, but also to form a small public garden. The implementation of the project would start in January. What should I watch out for?

    Hi Matea!

    Not sure if anyone responded to you yet.  One important thing to do is to get some volunteers to help with the garden maintenance but also to have extra hands out there while you are working with students.  I would also reach out to any master gardeners in your area to see if they can provide support, resources or ideas.  Lastly, look for some small local grants such as donorschoose, local ag in the classroom, etc, for money and lesson plans to use with students.  Hope that helps!
