The next scheduled Garden Tenders Basic Training:
        Tuesdays, July 8, 15 & 22, 5:30 to 8:30 pm
        Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, 100 North 20th Street
Philadelphia Green's Garden Tenders is a self-help training course for
community groups and non-profit organizations within the city of
Philadelphia who are interested in starting community gardens on vacant
lots. Garden Tenders participants learn how to get gardens started and how
to keep them going. The responsibility for creating and maintaining a garden
belongs to each group. The training course offers basic organizational
information that helps groups to establish successful, self-sustaining
community gardens.
*   The three-session "basic training" course (offered four times a year)
contains a mix of practical information: obtaining permission to use sites;
identifying community assets and resources; and developing community
networks.
*   At least three members from each group are encouraged to attend the "basic
training" course.
*   Upon completion of training, graduates are invited to attend hands-on
gardening workshops and may qualify for gardening supplies. Registration for
the Garden Tenders training course is limited to Philadelphia residents. For
information, call Sally McCabe at (215) 988-8846 or email
