Community Garden Leadership Training

Registration is full for this event. To get on the waiting list please email Sari Albornoz at sari(AT)sustainablefoodcenter(DOT)org. Otherwise, our next training will occur in the fall.

 A community garden is a place for food, friends, flowers and community. Find out how to contribute to the economic, social, and environmental vitality of your neighborhood by starting a community garden.

In this workshop, we will cover: community organizing, how to secure land, garden organization structures, and fundraising & community outreach. We will also speak with leaders of the in-process Gus Garcia Recreation Center Community Garden led by one of the community garden coordinators.  There is a high interest in community gardening in Austin, and very limited spaces available at the current community gardens. Come learn about how we can work together to start more gardens

**Interpretation and childcare provided upon request, please contact Grow Local.**
