Here are three links that may be of interest to you. I'm sorry the
first one is on such short notice, but I did not receive the
information until this morning. These blurbs came from the Green
Neighborhood Council weekly event update, contact me if you would like
to be added to that list and I can give you direction on who to talk
to.
Nutrition and the Community Gardens | Hands-On Training
Wednesday, May 27, 2009
5:00-8:30pm
Free training of Nutrition and the Community Gardens, This new hands-on
training with accompanying activity workbook is aimed at children 9-12
years old and teaches them basic horticulture and nutrition. The training
will be held on Wednesday, May 27, 2009, 5:00-8:30 PM, at the Munroe Meyer
Institute, which is located on the same campus as UNMC (University of
Nebraska Medical Center.) I have attached a copy of the map (in Excel
format) to the Munroe Meyer Institute (See Below.) If you know of any
other individuals who would like to attend, please inform them of the class
and dates so they can enroll.
If you are associated with a community garden and want to teach children
the wonders of gardening and eating healthy I encourage you to sign up.
You will receive your own teacher's guide. The new workbook contains many
hands-on activities and concepts that will assist you in teaching youth in
the community gardens. These hands-on activities can be utilized in the
classroom, outdoor and indoor gardens settings. I am really excited about
holding our second class and I am looking forward to sharing this valuable
information.
Please contact Scharol Bronson to register and enroll in the training by
May 20th. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Sharol:
