We hope to come up with a proper title at our next meeting sometime the week of January 25, 2016. If you want to join the planning committee, you are welcome, please let me know! 

Speakers at this workshop will cover some of the basics in starting and maintaining a garden, review district and community resources available for school gardens, share the latest research linking school gardens with higher test scores and other benefits to students; and include a high-participatory, hands-on component where presenters will showcase lessons in the garden for K-12 students. 

Hope you can all join us!
