The Mentor Training is for people interested in providing ongoing guidance to a specific community garden. After the initial training, Mentors are matched with a community garden in Forsyth County. To continually develop their knowledge skills, and networks, Mentors also attend monthly potlucks, Sustainable Growing Series workshops, and other horticultural programs offered by Forsyth County Cooperative Extension.
