The Community Garden Leadership Academy (CGLA) is a hands-on training for community gardeners in North Carolina. This course will cover topics such as garden organization, sustainable gardening practices, and leadership skills. Welcome for all community gardeners to join, from those just getting started to the seasoned community garden leader.

This 2- day training focuses on the “people part of the garden” by covering topics including:

  • Leadership and garden management
  • Volunteer engagement
  • Budget management

We also will address sustainable gardening best practices such as:

  • Soil health
  • Pest management
  • Food safety

Contrary to popular belief, a successful garden doesn’t rely only on sowing, weeding and harvesting. A successful garden must grow and nurture relationships between people – and together we can change the world, one garden at a time.

This is highly participatory training designed to include the experiences of each participant. We will introduce techniques and strategies to work effectively with diverse groups by focusing on the ‘community’ part of community gardening. There is also an outdoor garden learning component because we are gardeners after all and need to spend more time in the dirt.


For questions about the program please contact Community Gardening Coordinator, Matthew Scoggins at mscoggi@ncsu.edu with any questions
