Education

ECFCO runs on-demand Gardening Orientations. In an ECFCO Gardening Orientation, participants will receive a lesson on food insecurity and how people around us are affected by food insecurity, resources on fighting food insecurity, and food waste. Participants are then introduced to the community garden, where a full garden tour is conducted where participants may interact with the life in each separate bed. Finally, a lesson on composting will conclude the Gardening Orientation. Following the Gardening Orientation, participants are invited to stay and volunteer in the ECFCO-Presbyterian Church Community Garden. The facilitator of the Gardening Orientation will also stay and assist with the garden work, as well as answer any questions the party may have. 

Please contact us (ecfco.nonprofit@gmail.com) to schedule a Gardening Orientation.

All Gardening Orientations are FREE to attend and schedule. We are happy to accommodate both families and large groups.
