GROWing Garden Leadership

In 2018, the GROWing Garden Leadership Conference was spread out over 3 sessions so that current and future community gardens could attend the sessions that were most important to their work.  Session included Community Garden Record Keeping and Fundraising, Recruiting Community Garden Volunteers, and Community Garden Communication, Story-Telling, and Events. There was a total of 12 participants for various parts of the conference and each participant was given an easy to use guide with all the of the information presented at the classes. Community garden leaders have the opportunity each spring to apply for mini-grants to purchase equipment and items for the garden. TNP also partners with local beginning farmers to provide support in starting their own farm through land acquisition, marketing and sales supplies, and training opportunities.
