School and Community Gardens Sowing the Seeds of Sustainability

Training Description: Join us for a hands-on training that introduces a practical, strengths-based approach to planning for your garden’s future. Using trauma-informed principles and Appreciative Inquiry, you’ll learn how to engage volunteers, build shared ownership, and create a sustainability plan that fits your community’s capacity.

Whether you’re a garden coordinator, educator, or volunteer leader, this training will give you the tools and structure to guide a successful transition.

Participants will also receive a workbook to guide them through the appreciative inquiry process step by step, along with access to a curated library of garden resources to support ongoing planning and implementation.
