2020 School Garden Volunteer Training and Gardening Workshops

Posted on by

Hello folks!

On the morning of February 7 and 8, we will offer, as we have for many years, our School Garden Volunteer Training. If you are interested in helping out with our local Longview/Kelso school gardens, or are developing a program in your school or community, this class is for you! 

These identical classes run from 9:00 to 12:30 – choose Friday 2/7 or Saturday 2/8.

Both classes take place at Northlake Elementary and are free as always. Register here for all classes.

On those same two days, in the afternoon, we are offering a Gardening 101 class on Friday 2/7 from 1:30pm to 3pm.

The class on Saturday 2/8 is Pruning 101 and runs from 1:30 to 3:00pm.

In both classes we will do some learning in the classroom and then head out to the orchard to do some hands-on work.

Both classes take place at Northlake Elementary and are free of charge. Register here for all classes.
