Volunteer coaches help Lawns to Legumes grant recipients through the process of creating pollinator habitat in their yard. Coaches include conservation professionals who work for soil and water conservation districts and other conservation-related organizations, Minnesota Water Stewards, Master Gardeners, experienced gardeners, and past Lawns to Legumes participants.
Signing up here confirms that you would like to be matched with one or more grantees in Spring 2026. We will be hosting an L2L Coach webinar on Tuesday, February 3 from 12-1pm. In it, we will cover some of the updates for the Spring 2026 cohort as well as program plans beyond this spring. On average, coaches will spend a couple of hours per grantee they are matched with, but the need and gardening skill level of grantees varies widely.
We also host an online page for all of our grantees, The Hive. All coaches have access to this page and you are welcome scroll through and answer questions from grantees who didn’t get matched with a coach.
For some programs such as Master Gardeners or Minnesota Water Stewards, your coaching time counts as service hours!
Thank you in advance for putting your training into actions that help make Lawns to Legumes a movement!
