Students design a business plan for a year-round, sustainable school/community garden that generates income and involves local partners.
This Brick is a continuation of Business Plan: Sustainable Community Garden- Part 1. Part 1 needs to be done before one can start Part 2.
If possible, choose a real nearby space students can imagine transforming into a garden.
Looking back at Part 1; What is your business plan so far? Are there questions or new ideas? Talk about this shortly before continueing with the next steps.
Community Partnerships: Identify local partners (farmers, garden centres, clubs) and ways to contact them.
Guiding question: Who can support us? What can we offer in return?
Volunteers & Engagement: Plan recruitment, roles, and recognition strategies.
Launch & Communication: Plan a kick-off event and decide communication tools (posters, newsletter, social media).
Guiding question: What message do we want to share? How often should we update?
Harvest & Reinvestment: Plan produce sale and decide how profits will support next year.
Guiding question: What will we sell? How present it? How reinvest the money?
Final Business Plan: Combine all sections into a clear plan covering: vision, budget, resources, partnerships, volunteers, communication, harvest, and reinvestment.
