School Garden Parent Volunteer One-Page Guide

[Pam Hosimer]

Hello,

My school garden team wants to develop resources to help optimize the role of parents volunteering to support our school gardens, even if they have no gardening experience. Specifically, we want to develop a one-pager on being garden volunteer. Tips will center on being a positive role model, garden etiquette, working with kids and food safety.

I was wondering if anyone has a resource like this they would be willing to share. Our garden team is mostly garden novices. 

Thank you so much,
Pam
