Building Your Youth-Led Garden Business

Presenters from City Blossoms describe aspects of building a youth-led startup including meetings, community agreements, mission and goal setting, creating the face of the company, identifying products and services, pricing, earning money, and teamwork. The session features Willa Pohlman of City Blossoms in Washington, D.C.; Karen Ramirez and Blanca Alvarado of RootDown LA in Los Angeles, CA; and Marvin Hayes of Baltimore Compost Collective in Baltimore, MD.
This video is part of a four-part series, Building a Farm and Garden Youth Entrepreneurship Program, presented by City Blossoms, the U.S. Botanic Garden, and the Farm-Based Education Network.
