101a: Planning and Organizing Sustainable Gardening Programs for Children, Youth, Adults and Communities
Looking to start a school
or community-based garden program, but do not know where to begin? This course
focuses on the foundations and benefits of garden-based learning, and provides
the tools, resources, and collaborative support needed to plan, organize and
develop a successful and sustainable gardening program that fits your
organization’s needs. Using a logic model approach to program development, this
course is perfect for educators, program staff, volunteers, volunteer
coordinators or anyone wanting to develop a community garden, school garden, or
garden-based learning program for youth, adults, or people with disabilities in
their local community, school, Cooperative Extension, or afterschool
program. While we will address school
gardening from the context of planning, we will not focus on curriculum
integration and other facets of learning activities and lesson plans. These are
addressed in course 101b. For more information: http://www.cals.cornell.edu/cals/hort/teaching/distance-learning/garden-programs.cfm
