Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens

The Franklin Park Conservatory Community Gardener Training Program will be a five-track educational program designed to help community gardeners and teachers start, strengthen, and sustain community and school garden projects in their neighborhoods that will positively affect the residents, communities, and students. The five tracks in the program will be horticulture, green practices and sustainability, community and garden leadership, health and nutrition, and school gardens. . During this project, 20 courses will be developed. Project evaluation and assessment conducted during the project will help inform the subsequent development of other courses and allow for ongoing assessment of the courses and the program.
