Do you collect seeds? Bring seeds from last year to share. Gardening experts will be available to answer questions and get you started.   Note :  We're asking that this event not be posted publicly, instead share it directly with individuals and groups who are part of, or starting, school or community gardens. 

We are creating a community garden directory, and we need your help! We ask that ALL community & school gardens please submit an entry online by February 2020. This will help us direct volunteers and gardeners to your garden, and will take less than 10 minutes. If you need assistance filling out the form, please contact Quina to set up a time to stop by the office ( [email protected] or 336-641-2427). Thank you for your collaboration!

A free 2-day intensive training for community garden leaders. This training will cover the community building skills and basic horticultural knowledge needed to start and sustain a community garden. Are you a new community & school garden leader? An existing garden leader? Someone who wants to mentor and support community gardens in Guilford County? JOIN US! Limited spaces remain.

Want to know how to plan and plant for pollinators? Have limited space but still want to grow some vegetables and culinary herbs? For 2020, the Master Gardener volunteers will be offering these series available to the public. Sign up for as many free classes as you like!
