By Truly Living Well Center for Natural Urban Agriculture
The Urban Grower Program is a twelve week program wherein participants learn practical urban agriculture techniques like how to plant and maintain an urban farm. Students engage in the management of the unique certified naturally-grown TLW farms including its greenhouse space. Students can expect to develop competencies in farm skills through skills trainings and by engaging in the day-to-day work and operation of the farm. The hands-on-training received on our sites will be combined with workshops, lectures, readings, and assignments that build participants’ knowledge and understanding of naturally grown farming principles and practices. Students will tour other urban agriculture businesses around the metro Atlanta area in order to broaden their overall experience and to further enhance their understanding of the best practices in urban agriculture. During the 12 week course, students will connect with some of the best minds in the field. At the end of the program each participant has the tools in hand to be a successful Urban Grower!
