Unit: Building a Community Garden Santuary
The book, The Gardener, by Sarah Stewart gently illustrates how sharing growing things can be a gift to others and the community.
Participants define what they want to accomplish for the community garden and identify a place that is available and has the right conditions. This requires research and permissions.

This experiential lesson involves building the garden and inviting people to enjoy and participate.
