Are you a first-time gardener?
When you purchase your garden box, you can sign up to be paired with an experienced garden mentor who will support you with your first growing season.
Mentors are community volunteers who meet at their assigned “mentees” garden five times (dates and times determined by the mentorship pair) throughout the gardening season to provide guidance and build gardening confidence.
When: Wed April 12, 2023
Time: 4:00pm-5:00pm
Where: STEM Innovation Center, 2019 Technology Way, Green Bay, WI 54311
Garden Mentors are assigned a new gardener who has received a New Leaf Garden Blitz Garden Box or rented a plot through the Brown County Community Gardens Program. Pairs meet five times (virtually or in person, typically at the mentee's home or community garden, to be decided by each pair) over the course of the season to provide guidance and build gardening confidence.
Mentors will receive a mentoring guide filled with helpful handouts, tips, and a schedule of topics to cover. All mentors are required to complete an orientation and a background check to become an official volunteer of Brown County.
