Journal of Extension

Urban Farm DB summary

A report on the University of Georgia Extension's multitiered approach to supporting school gardens, developed to assist educators with no horticultural experience while making efficient use of Extension agents' time and resources. The approach combines a beginning-steps publication, hands-on garden training, and school garden associations, and is reported to have produced more sustainable school gardens with reduced frustration for both school gardeners and Extension agents.
