Connect with the communities you serve to create a better future for us all. Learn how some gardens have worked collaboratively to develop programs the serve both environmental and social goals. Then use the tools of asset-based community development to start identifying the overlap between garden and community expertise. You’ll leave the session ready to start, or enhance, the conversation with new and existing audiences.
