The UC Davis School Gardening Program, (previously referred to as the UC Davis Children's Garden Program) has developed great resources for adults involved in developing and using school gardens in California.
Creating and Sustaining your School Garden (CSYSG)
We worked with our partners at LifeLab Science Program and the Resource Conservation District of Greater San Diego County to develop and deliver the CSYSG workshops with funding from California Department of Food and Agriculture Specialty Crop Block Grant Program. We continue to make all workshop materials available to the public.
CSYSG Workshop Materials |
Individual activities and lessons Choosing Plants and Planting Times Additional documents for individuals who want to use CSYSG for training adults. These documents have been used in our 'train the trainer' program to enable regional partners to carry out school gardening workshops in their own areas for adult participants.
