Hands-On Sessions & Online Classes
In 2021, NGBH developed a Certificate Program in Sustainable Landscape & Garden Management in partnership with Kennebec Valley Community College (KVCC) to meet the high demand for skilled landscape and garden workers by providing high-level training for those interested in a career in this field. This program is now one of KVCC's course offerings and is open to both newcomers and those already working in this field who are interested in advancing their knowledge and skills.
This program emphasizes best practices in nature-based landscaping and gardening for those either just starting out or already employed in this field. Participants seeking jobs will benefit from networking opportunities with industry employers. Upon completion, participants will also be equipped to work independently as gardeners.

Development of this program has been made possible through the generous support of the Anahata Foundation.
The Downeast Innovation Fund of Maine Community Foundation awarded NGBH a capacity-building grant for 2021 to ensure a strong foundation for NGBH's expanded mission and programming. A community-building grant from Maine Community Foundation in 2022 supports NGBH's ongoing efforts.
