Churches, social service agencies, neighborhood associations and all kinds of groups are putting in gardens and working with youth from the littlest ones up to the teens and young twenties. We invite you to come and listen to some of their stories, and then participate in group discussions and information sharing. Whether you’ve already started a program or are thinking of starting one, this first ever get together of youth gardening programs will get you growing.
