  2. EFTG Program Schedule School year 13 lessons starting the 3rdweek in August to 1st week in June No classes Winter holidays- Mid December-Mid January June, July & August optional time for growing and harvesting summer crop

  3. EFTG Program Schedule • Sticking to the timeline: This allows the plants to grow and mature enough to be ready to harvest. • Communicate importance of timeline with teachers and partners: Have alternate days for planting if there is a rain out.

  4. Growing Season for School Gardens • Beginning of September for fall crops -Beets, Spinach, Lettuce, Collard Greens, Turnips, Broccoli, Cauliflower and Cabbage • Harvest time at the end of November • After winter break: Lettuce seed starting using Grow Labs in mid-February

  5. Growing Season for School Gardens • Start planting in March for spring crops -Radish, Carrot, Spinach, Lettuce, Onion bulbs, Chards, Potato, Strawberry • Mid May for summer crops -Sweet Potato ,Tomato, Peppers

  6. Ideas for scheduling • Schedule two locations on alternating weeks. • Do multiple classrooms at one location to aim for a ‘weekly presence’. • Schedule in garden workdays or ‘catch up’ days during breaks in timeline. • Leave additional activities for teachers so that they do EFTG every week at the same time.
