Lawns to Legumes grantees can request to be partnered with a volunteer coach during the grant period. Our volunteer coaches are Master Gardeners, Minnesota Water Stewards, former Lawns to Legumes grant recipients, and conservation staff across the state. While we do our best to accommodate as many requests as possible, we have a limited number of volunteer coaches we hope to match with grantees who can benefit the most, especially new gardeners.
Before requesting a coach, we recommend checking out our online resources at bluethumb.org! There are plenty of resources to help with your project, including plant templates, do-it-yourself guides, and more. You can learn all about navigating the process of planning and implementing a project at our workshops. For any questions that come up throughout the process, you will be able to connect with fellow grantees and coaches on our online community forum, The Hive. And you can always contact us at L2Lhelp@bluethumb.org.
The deadline to request a coach was Friday, August 2nd. For questions, email the L2L Helpline: l2lhelp@bluethumb.org
