We Grow Together: Community Gardening Intensive
A practical course for anyone looking to start, support, or sustain a community garden. We’ll explore what helps gardens thrive beyond the growing - purpose, shared leadership, site planning, neighborhood buy-in, partnerships, funding, policy, and long-term care. Expect stories, conversation, a collaborative workshop, and time to bring your own questions.
Nathan Ballentine, also known as Man in Overalls, started growing his own food at age eight and quickly discovered the power of gardening to build connection. He has visited community gardens across the country and on four continents, supported garden initiatives in the South for over 20 years, and co-authored community garden and urban agriculture policies for two North Florida municipalities.
