Large vegetable gardens are much more
successful when the community is involved
and motivated. Getting people involved right
from the start in planning and discussing the
garden is an excellent idea. This will build
commitment, spread the workload, help you
avoid mistakes and stimulate interest in the
school or the community’s activities.
Parents and volunteers can help with garden
work. Parents can help with children’s
gardening tasks and homework. They can
visit the garden and participate in talks,
demonstrations, food fairs and celebrations.
In addition, local partners, company
volunteers and local communities can be
involved and provide their time, expert
advice/collaboration, help, supplies,
equipment, etc.
