School Garden Project of Lane County    http://www.efn.org/~sgp/html/aboutus

    The School Garden Project (SGP) was formalized in 2002 to establish sustainable school gardens and to provide resources, professional consultation, and education programs in local schools. SGP was born from a School Garden seminar held at the University of Oregon Urban Farm in 2000. Urban Farm students worked closely with local K-12 teachers to design and construct gardens on school grounds. By the following year, the popularity of the services university students provided for teachers outstripped the ability of the course to meet them. SGP formed to meet these needs, enlisting support from dedicated community volunteers, parents, and local businesses to serve and support its mission.  Note: great resources page.
