Sharing Seminar in August!

Gardens, Teachers, Children and Youth







A Sharing Seminar 


August 1 through 4, 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM



Day 1, Germantown Gardens and Farms, Then and Now





Day 2, Summer Camp at SCEE and Teens4Good Urban Farm in Andorra 




Day 3, Horticultural Center in Fairmount Park, Penn State Ag Extension programs and resources with Doris Stahl


Day 4, Fair Hill Burial Ground, garden programs



Come join us to see some wonderful places where gardens, plants, and children connect. Each day will begin in a different location. 

In addition, participants will be encouraged to recommend nearby sites that we might also visit on a given day. Each day we will tour a specific site to gain ideas and learn how gardens are used with students. We will use the location as a springboard for our own conversations, sharings, and curricular planning as the participants see fit.


We hope you will join us in exploring and learning about some of the wonderful resources of our own area, as well as sharing expertise and offering mutual support. We are eager to meet you and learn from you while sharing things that we have learned and tried ourselves. We want this sharing seminar to be available to any and all interested people, so there is no registration fee or costs for joining us. Participants can attend any number of the days as fit their personal schedules. People will bring their own drinks, snacks, or lunches. We can work together to share transportation as desired. Please contact either Penny or Fern and we will provide you with the logistical information for each of the four days.
