Community Garden Workshops
The Winter Park Health Foundation (WPHF), in hopes of inspiring community-based, not-for-profit organizations to initiate community garden programs locally, hosted two community gardens workshops on February 19 and 20 as part of its Think~Act~Be Healthy Communities initiative.
The events, which drew more than 50 participants, featured speakers Bobby Wilson, president of the Board of Directors of the American Community Garden Association, and Melissa Watford, Ed.M., Health Education Coordinator for FirstHealth in North Carolina.
WPHF also used the occasion to announce the availability of grant funding through its Think~Act~Be Healthy Communities initiative for not-for-profit organizations interested in starting community garden projects in Eatonville, Maitland, and Winter Park.
