Community Garden Assistance
Community Garden Training Day held at ECHO

As the economy continues to suffer, non-profits and schools are considering community and co-op gardening as a way to provide sustainable ways to supplement their food pantries and school lunch programs. Thanks to the support of the SWFL Community Foundation, ECHO can now provide planning and consulting to local organizations interested in producing food in Southwest Florida.

Rebecca Garofano began her internship at ECHO in October of 2010 learning tropical agriculture, while bringing to ECHO her valuable skills

For information on how ECHO can potentially assist your organization with consulting on your project, please download the “Community Gardening Application for Assistance” or contact Rebecca Garofano, at rgarofano@echonet.org.
