Resources

I often receive inquiries asking for help to start a children's gardening program. This page and the Organizations page list sources for information I've collected.

I've included handouts from my workshops which you are welcome to use without charge for any non-profit organization or institution. For all other uses, please contact me or the author as indicated for reprint permission.
