The UW-Extension office is offering a free online webinar, Community Gardens: How to Plan for Success, at noon on Wednesday, Nov. 3.
Organizations and individuals will learn how to plan for a community garden before a shovel hits the dirt. Topics will include how to:
- Provide a planning checklist for you to use to successfully set up and sustain a community garden;
- Examine the environmental impact of a garden’s rules and guidelines;
- Discuss potential challenges that a community garden may face; and
- Share additional resources to help the community garden.
The webinar will be presented by Ann Wied, community development outreach specialist, UW-Madison Division of Extension, Waukesha County; and Julie Hill, horticulture outreach specialist, UW-Madison Division of Extension, Walworth and Rock counties.
