The United States Botanic Garden and the American Public Gardens Association are working to support public gardens and their partners in facilitating collaborative food-growing and education programs. For 2021, the Urban Agriculture Resilience Program seeks to promote public garden participation in community collaborations that address food security challenges exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and that combine food growing and education. Additionally, awarded programs will share lessons learned through their programmatic collaboration.
This Q&A webinar provided attendees the opportunity to ask questions they had about the Urban Agriculture Resilience Program. The webinar covered the application process, reporting and marketing commitments for awardees, but primarily focused on questions submitted prior to April 30th. All questions and answers are posted on our website here.
