The CSWCD is excited to assist the School Health Initiative Program (SHIP) in developing a network of school and community garden leaders and resources. This network will share curricula, tools, and advice amongst the gardens and garden clubs at schools within the Williamsburg James City County school district and surrounding communities. Grant and training opportunities are also shared amongst the network.
