Square Foot Gardening Training
This year we are offering a limited number of spots to the general public to attend our Backyard Growers Program training. The training program fee is $25. You will be trained alongside this year’s program participants. (Sorry! We can’t provide you will additional Backyard Growers Program resources! The $25 fee is for the 2-hour training only.) To learn more about our program go to the Quick Links above.
The Backyard Growers Program partners with The Food Project to provide an interactive, hands-on training, which is fun, informative, and gives you what you need to successfully start and maintain a garden. You will learn the "square foot gardening method" and how to plan your family’s garden.

- Saturday, March 23 generally for families at Veteran’s, East Gloucester & Plum Cove
- Saturday, March 30 generally for families at Beeman & West Parish
- Families that do not fall within these categories can choose which date they would like to attend.
