In this Webex workshop, we will learn that there is no “i” in team as we explore ways to connect with important stakeholders to build a sustainable youth gardening team. We will test our knowledge of food safety in the garden and discover which insects are our friends in the garden. Through hands-on demonstrations, participants will learn some new tricks, kid-friendly gardening tips, and fun activities to get kids hooked on gardening and excited about growing food! All participants will receive a toolkit of fun and easy to use activities from FSNE.
