School & Community Gardens...What Are Your Thoughts?
We are looking for a variety of Lockport school and community members to participate in a brief virtual focus group to learn more about the level of interest, benefits, and potential barriers (and solutions to those barriers) in having a Lockport School/Community Garden(s). Please consider signing up to participate, we want to hear your voice!
We will be holding 2 School Garden Focus Groups on March 30th:
- 10am - 11am
- 7pm - 8pm
If you are interested in participating please complete this form. You will receive a link to a School Garden Focus Group Google Meet for the time you select by the 29th. Thank you!
