tours and training in placemaking

**"Harriet Festing" h*@pps.org**

Friends,
For any of you interested in placemaking as it relates to community
gardens, I've written a list of the training courses and tours we're
offering at Project for Public Spaces.  

We've more planned for later in the year, but here's the list so far.
Many are already booking up quickly, so do book soon!  Feel free to
contact Kumar (details below) if you have any queries.  I've given web
page links where they are available and also noted if we have brochures
available.
Best wishes
Harriet
