Best Practices in School Gardens

School teachers, staff, students, volunteers and administrators across Kentucky are interested in establishing and sustaining instructional gardens. In April and June of  2009 two Gardening with Class: School Garden Workshops were held in Lexington that attracted 200+  teachers, parents and staff excited about establishing a school garden on their campus. Out of this workshop 50+ gardens were developed in 2009. In 2010 and 2011 a school garden workshop was held in conjunction with the Bluegrass Local Food Summit that attracted 80+ participants.  Our goal is to help create gardens in every school in Kentucky!

The 2012 School Garden Workshop is part of the 2012 Bluegrass Local Food Summit
