Dear Farm to School Coalition of NC members,
Attached are some great materials shared by a colleague, Joni Torres from Pitt County from a national training she attended.
Looks like some great best practice documents for School Gardens…
Perhaps not all resources will be relevant here in NC but as with all things, take and use the materials that are..
