Step 4: Gain Approval
It is key to be prepared with a plan in hand for your approval meeting. Follow these steps that pave the way to approval for your garden project.
1. If you haven't already, print and complete the GEF Garden Approval Planner, which is designed to help you focus and summarize your objectives. To assist you in the completion of the template, utilize the GEF Budget Calculator and recommendations from Choosing a Location.
2. Set up a meeting with your school adminstrator or youth group supervisor. Bring your completed planner, and a tentative design.
3. Once you have been granted approval, set up a follow-up meeting, inviting other key players - i.e. the head custodian, PTO president, and/or parent liasion.
4. Update your garden design, if desired, and generate excitement by making copies to send home, post on community boards and/or around the building.
