A resilient gardener is one who takes the time to observe, interact with their garden, continually gain a renewed understanding of that garden’s quirks and challenges. As community and volunteer leaders, we can take lessons from the resilient gardener and build the capacity for our people and programs to respond and adapt to change. Libby Weiland of the Vermont Community Garden Network will explore how we can build integrated solutions that allow us to keep functioning, recover quickly from challenges, and adapt to change. Participants will learn how to creatively solve problems and find solutions using a resilience framework. This webinar is brought to you in partnership with the Vermont Community Garden Network.
