GreenThumb Workshop: Grow Your Garden Group
In this workshop, we will discuss the necessity of drafting membership procedures and agreements. We will go over successful event planning tips.
“
Since the weather is nice and the garden is looking lush with greenery, you must be getting a lot of visitors inquiring about becoming a member or getting a box to grow. By having membership procedures and agreements in place, it will be very easy to welcome new folks. If you are having trouble getting folks to visit or stop by, what better way to draw them in than with an exciting event or two?
In this workshop, we will discuss the necessity of drafting membership procedures and agreements. We will go over successful event planning tips. We encourage groups to share their challenges and successes so we can learn from each other.
RSVP required.
