Garden Start-Up ProgramSince ancient times, gardens have provided humans with a source of food, art, expression, and enjoyment. In recent years, the home garden has been losing its important place in our everyday life. In hopes of reviving interest in gardens, Simple Living Institute, Inc. is pleased to offer a Garden Start-Up as one of our core programs focused on education and sustainability. 
The program is quite simple. A "host" (school, church, community center, park, or other public entity) simply sets aside a plot of land and grants permission for use to its school children, church members, community members, etc. Simple Living then leads the group through the garden start-up, which is accomplished with the Host group and Simple Living working together in two educational sessions, each one week apart.Once the garden is in, the Host group maintains the Garden. Simple Living is available for support in the form of answering questions and recommending solutions to problems. Garden Start-Ups are performed for free by Simple Living as a public enrichment program. The Garden Start-Up Program Info Sheet (.pdf) provides more information on this program. If you are interesting in coordinating a Garden Start-Up for your community site, please complete our Garden Start-Up Application (.pdf), and contact us.
