Workshop at The Battery: Working with Students in the Vegetable Garden

Learn to lead students through gardening tasks more effectively. Our staff will demonstrate the structures and systems we use to plant, tend crops, harvest and cook with budding gardeners. We will focus on strategies that improve accessibility and allow for many students to engage in garden work.

Please note that this workshop is for adults and educators who work with youth.  If you would like to bring your children to the farm for activities, check out one of our Family Farm Volunteer Days or Farm Tours for Kids.

RSVP is required; registration will open one month in advance of event.

PLEASE NOTE that in response to the COVID-19 pandemic we require all participants to wear masks covering nose and mouth while on the farm.
