Eco Education Program Management

Eco Education Program Management

Many schools want environmental science and gardening content for their programs. The challenge is that most schools don’t have the resources or capacity to maintain sustainable programs over time.

The level of skill, interest, and commitment of staff, lack of funding, and lack of time are some reasons why many school garden programs don’t last.

Beazer’ Garden Workshops (BGW) provides you with insight on building healthy structured systems that thrive for the long-term, not just for a grant cycle.
