Hello everyone-  We are still in the planning process for the upcoming Grace From the Garden conference.  We are looking for someone or a group to do a breakout session about children/youth/school gardening.  This can be in whatever format you would like, could only focus on one aspect or all, and can be one breakout session or two.  Please volunteer yourself!!

 

Some breakout session leaders that we already have lined up are Missy Lubich from Oakwood Village and Crystal Stewart for Hort Therapy, Lauri Lee from the Madison Herb Society, Randy Gates and Marlin Nissen from Outta The Box about permaculture and No Work Organic Gardening, Theresa Shroeder from Focuscorp for activities from the Garden, .  I have contacted George Drekman from city recycling for composting but have not heard anything back.   We might be able to get some Hmong gardening.
