- Garden Leaders Training: If you are interested in starting a new community garden, or helping to lead an existing community garden, then Garden Leaders Training is for you! It consists of a series of four workshops, all held on Saturdays from 9am-12pm starting in 2012. It is recommended that you attend all four sessions. The Garden Project also offers start-up funding for new community garden projects. However, Garden Leaders Training is not solely for new gardens, but is also a great resource for gaining leadership skills for existing gardens. To sign up or learn more about Garden Leaders Training please contact Sasha@greaterlansingfoodbank.org or call 853-7809
