Institute sessions will cover information on how to start and sustain community gardens, including:
To qualify for the Institute interested groups must have at least 5 dedicated garden team members, at least 3 of whom must attend all five Institute sessions. Meeting once a week, each session runs for three hours and includes highly interactive group activities that will facilitate the garden planning process. We welcome any group such as neighborhood or community groups, faith-based organizations, non-profit agencies or service clubs, schools, groups of neighbors, or businesses.
We look forward to getting in touch with existing and past community garden partners to better expand our programming this year. CSGDI is responsible for starting over thirty gardens in Washtenaw County and we are excited to empower even more community members to get involved! Participants of the most recent CSGDI which ran from January to February of 2009 include:
CSTS: Community and Support Treatment Services
Trinity Episcopal Church
Ann Arbor Learning Community
Ann Arbor Preschool
YHC: Ypsilanti Housing Commission
St. Andrews Episcopal Church
The next Community and School Garden Institute will be in late fall or early winter of 2009. Please get in touch if you are interested in participating!.
Is there a group you'd like us to present to about the CGSDI or Growing Hope in general? Please, get in touch by emailing us at ashley@growinghope.net.
