Resilient Gardens Conference

Harvest New York and New York State Seed to Supper are excited to host the third Resilient Gardens Conference in Poughkeepsie, NY focused on culturally relevant gardening skills and community garden management for the unique resource needs of urban gardeners.

This two-day event will feature education and practical skills on day one; we'll hear from leaders of diverse stakeholder groups on strategies to overcome these issues in cities and rural communities and connecting resources between Cornell Cooperative Extension and leading community gardens. The second day is optional and will include tours of local gardening projects across Poughkeepsie and Kingston NY. See the full agenda for details.

This event is primarily open to Seed to Supper Garden Educators, CCE Educators, Master Gardener Volunteers and Upstate Seed to Supper Program Participants, as well as partner Community Gardens involved with Harvest NY.

This conference is made possible due to funding from the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets.
