Details
Kitchen Garden Program Professional Development is the ultimate kitchen and garden learning experience for Kitchen and Garden Educators: an entire day filled with hands-on workshops, discussions and skill sessions. The training is designed to enhance your knowledge and skills, and to help you plan, prepare and deliver successful, engaging and enjoyable kitchen and garden classes in your schools. Sessions are based on Kitchen Garden Program activities and led by passionate and established facilitators who are often leaders in their fields.
Our aim is that you come away from the day with increased knowledge and skills in areas specific to the kitchen and garden, along with the ability to transfer this knowledge and skills to your students. You will share your experiences and ideas and learn from other Specialists and Educators, while gaining insights into other kitchen garden programs in your region.
