This publication is designed to help tree owners and Virginia Cooperative Extension Master Gardener volunteers evaluate tree health. Collecting information and identifying potential tree health issues will lead to more informed tree care decisions. Evaluation information can be used in many ways including: by the tree owner to guide their direct actions, to support discussions with landscape contractors, to identify situations where a Certified Arborist is needed, to support municipal arborists or foresters or Master Gardener volunteers in making tree care recommendations.

This webinar series is designed to support and explain each chapter of the Virginia Farm to School Toolkit, which was developed to guide VCE Extension agents, school division administrators, school nutrition professionals, educators, school garden coordinators, and others toward using farm to school practices as a means to increase equitable access to fresh, healthy, Virginia grown food while providing hands-on learning opportunities in a variety of educational settings. In this webinar, we will consider how school gardens play an integral part of farm to school programs. Our panelists will share how they have developed and worked with school gardens and farms, and will offer some tips that can help in farm to school efforts.
