School / Community Garden Training
Presented by the Ventura County Master Gardeners
The “Community and School Gardening Class” is a new, hands-on training program to train volunteers who are willing to create more community and school gardens. This free course is provided by the Ventura County Master Gardeners. The course will train YOU and other volunteers and give you all the basic knowledge required to successfully start a new community or school garden.
The programs will be given in a live situation – you will work with the Master Gardeners and create new garden plots at La Mariposa School. At the end of the day, there should be a cadre of trained volunteers who will continue to build more gardens in more schools and neighborhoods. This school was chosen because of it’s HUGE commitment to teaching about food, and for their dedication of food plots to aid the hungry.
Our first training class will be held on July 31st, starting at 9:30 at La Mariposa School in Camarillo, 4800 Corte Olivas, Camarillo; a map to the training site is below.
