FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Join the Cornell Garden Based Learning (CGBL) and Cornell Cooperative
Extension of Erie and Niagara Counties for a Tend the Garden Training session
February 22nd at the Gloria J. Parks Community Center; 3242 Main Street; Buffalo,
NY 14214. The program will begin at 10:00 am and end at 2:30 pm; lunch will be
provided. Cost is $15.00. 

The session is designed to assist existing youth garden programs (small or large) in developing a longer-term approach to garden-based
programs in hopes of expanding existing programs that foster a commitment to yearlong
food systems. The Tend the Garden session is part of a three part professional
development program offered by the CGBL called Take Root! A Training for Garden
Educators (http://blogs.cornell.edu/garden/takeroot/).

During this session, the CGBL Team will introduce a logic model as a tool to create
project sustainability both on the ground, in the garden and within a program. The
training session will cover building capacity, forming collaborations, extending the
gardening season, building healthy soil and composting, and more. Groups with
an existing school or community garden program hoping to expand and increase
project sustainability are encouraged to attend. 

If there is a particular topic you would like to see addressed that is not listed, please let us know at 716-652-5400 x 150.
