Every year VCGN is blessed by a energetic and creative team of garden educators–this year is no exception! Our seasonal staff for 2021 come to us from across the state and will be supporting gardeners and leading programming in Chittenden, Addison and Washington Counties. In addition to this dynamic team we will also have garden interns starting their work soon to support our partnership programs in the Burlington area.
