Fall Grow It! garden leader workshop offered in Bellows Falls

BELLOWS FALLS — The Vermont Community Garden Network (VCGN) presents the 2014 Fall Grow It! workshops for community and school garden leaders in partnership with Charlie Nardozzi.

The workshops provide garden leaders with timely training and networking opportunities at seven locations statewide. The Bellows Falls workshop is presented in partnership with Post Oil Solutions and Food Connects.

Now in its second year, VCGN is touring the state to bring people, ideas, and resources together around community and school garden leadership. The fall workshops will take a closer look at what's working in one's garden and what can be done this winter to take it to the next level.

Participants will learn more about strategies to boost their garden program, share ideas, and gain garden tips for the season.

The fall workshop in Bellows Falls is Thursday, Oct. 2, from 4 to 7 p.m., and includes a light dinner. The workshop is at The Retreat House, Immanuel Episcopal Church, 20 Church St.

The Grow It! Garden Organizer Training Series and related technical assistance are made possible with generous support from the New England Grassroots Environment Fund, the Ben & Jerry's Foundation, and the Vermont Agency of Agriculture.
