Created in 2010, the Farmington Area Community Garden is a joint effort between Farmington Area Public Schools and the City of Farmington with the goal of connecting residents throughout the District 192 community, educating students and residents about healthful food options, and providing fresh produce to families in need. The garden is located behind Meadowview Elementary School. Water is available on site, and a shed houses tools available for the gardeners to use. The Farmington Area Community Garden has 22 plots available for rental by community gardeners, which can include both individuals and groups of people. Plots are 6 feet-by-20 feet. The garden was created thanks to funding from BlueCross BlueShield and the Statewide Health Improvement Program (SHIP) of the Minnesota Department of Health. Please note: Each gardener is required to complete a minimum of 6 volunteer assignments to avoid a $50 end of season fee. Assignments must be completed by Tuesday each week.

Your first session is FREE! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Adult-First Mindset Shift There’s a fundamental flaw in many discipline approaches: The expectation that adults can teach skills we struggle with ourselves. Curriculums that provide words and actions for children without providing the words and actions for adults will always fall flat. We cannot effectively teach skills we do not practice ourselves! Empower yourself to change the “do as I say, not as I do” dynamic with Handling Upset: The Adult-first Mindset Shift. Upon registration, please ensure you enter your email address, as this will be used to enroll you in the course. You will then receive a confirmation email containing access to your self-paced online course.
