Are you an experienced gardener, ready to help a new gardener grow? Become a garden mentor!
Mentors are assigned a new gardener who has received a New Leaf Garden Blitz Garden box or rented a plot through the Brown County Community Gardens Program. Pairs meet five times (virtually or in person, typically at the mentee's home or community garden, to be decided by each pair) over the course of the season in order to provide guidance and build gardening confidence. Dates, times, and location are up to you! Mentors will receive a mentoring guide filled with helpful handouts, tips, and a schedule of topics to cover. There's also room for flexibility and creativity.
All mentors are required to complete an orientation and a background check to become an official volunteer of Brown County.
