Getting Going Growing acts as a resource clearinghouse for help with getting school gardens growing. We connect schools with providers of in-kind donations such as garden supplies or irrigation help.

We also provide assistance with specific garden needs. Below are listed some of the skills and help we can provide along with the persons that can best provide that help.

Seeds and plant propagation
  *Barbara and Jane

*Barbara and Jane will work with teachers and students to help them pick out seeds. Then they will propagate the plants in Gamble Garden's greenhouse. Students can experience the process on the web or hands on at Gamble Garden. Or you can simply request certain plants. Good web sites to explore are Life Lab and kidsGardening.org.
