Spring Grow It! Workshops
Gatherings of garden leaders at locations all over VermontPresented by Vermont Community Garden Network in partnership with local garden leaders
Our theme for the spring workshop is “Growing Community.” We’ll explore:
- How can your community-based garden strengthen community?
- What makes your garden more than just a space to grow food?
- Where are the opportunities for community collaboration in these common spaces?
Join community and school garden leaders from your region to learn strategies, share stories, and swap ideas that will boost your garden programs.
Workshops are held at 6 locations around the state.

In the words of a Grow It! participant:
“I’ve participated in multiple Grow It! workshops and I left each one with a toolkit for communication and networking. The peer-to-peer exchange and hands on engagement are key to my positive experience. Not only do I glean valuable growing tips and organizational strategies, but I also walk away with stories to share and ideas that translate to other areas of my job (and life!) beyond the garden.”
~ Chris Jacobson, WRJ Community Garden, White River Junction
