Module 3: Organizing and Implementing a Garden Program
Module 3: Organizing and Implementing a Gardening Program
Overview
In the previous module, you explored best practices for improving your program or getting your program off to a good start. You examined program vision, mission, and values, and evaluated your existing resources. Now let's begin strategizing how you will put a program plan into action and and fulfill program goals.
As you might know from your own research, there is much information on organizing and implementing gardening programs. For this session, we will focus your attention on the different approaches to organizing youth, volunteers, and community members for a garden-based learning effort.
We have provided a long list of articles, resources and case studies on the topic, and while you may want to, you are not expected to read all of them! Choose two or three that either interest you or relate to your own program needs. You also may want to save the links to these resources for future reference.
