More and more gardens are popping up at schools and in communities. To help guide those who manage and work in these public gardens, a fact sheet and leaders guide have been updated and are now available.
The curriculum is called “Garden to Plate: Food Safety for School and Community Gardens.” Information includes site and soil selection, personal hygiene, water and irrigation, compost and fertilizers, pest and animal management, and harvesting and storage. The intended audience is consumers, school and community garden volunteers, and educators and teachers.
