There will be time during the webinar for questions and networking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ll be activities that teachers can use during the first couple of weeks of school,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Educators who attend all of the presentations and complete the activities are eligible for a certificate of completion for continuing education credit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The topics covered were requested through teacher surveys and to address previous problems that some school garden coordinators have reported. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are also aware of what school gardeners could face going into the school year, so we\u2019ll be ready for those things. I\u2019ve had some teachers contact me and ask how they can participate in the pollinator census even if they\u2019re not back in school, so we\u2019re going to address that,\u201d said Griffin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To register for the event, visit&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/schoolgardenwebinar0616.eventbrite.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">schoolgardenwebinar0616.eventbrite.com<\/a>.
