Local networks of community growing groups: What works.
Join Miriam from our Northern Ireland team to discuss local networks of community-growing groups. There will be ample time for questions and discussion.
Measuring and reducing carbon (simply) in a community growing setting
Research has shown that urban community gardens can have a higher carbon footprint than conventional farming - how do we ensure that our activities are not having an unintended negative impact on our earth's resources and what simple steps can we take to understand and reduce our carbon footprint?
Gardeniser Pro is the only course developed specifically to support and train the key, professional role of community garden manager or facilitator, with every aspect of your role and the challenges you face covered.
