Youth gardens are popping up everywhere: schools, parks, churches, and community centers. This new publication, part of our community garden series, covers:

• the many benefits of youth gardens
• how to start a youth garden
• educational theory and garden design
• safety and accessibility
• tips for a low-maintenance youth garden
• how to invite the community to participate in your garden

 

Youth Gardening will help you design, plan, and build a garden that will provide enrichment for years to come (8 pages; 2013).

 Youth Gardening is part of People+Plants: How to Grow a Community Garden, a multimedia series on how to build, maintain, and make the most of community gardens.
