Who are we?
The Champion Gardeners is a youth based business platform for ALL CHILDREN to receive wisdom and knowledge. They will also teach each other how to succeed as an entrepreneur. Your children will start a legacy of a business owned and operated by them.
What is an Entrepreneur?
An entrepreneur is creative, has a positive attitude, develops good relationships and must have great organizational skills.
Entrepreneurs must first be committed and be passion-driven with the attitude to SUCCEED. We are starting a business together. Our platform will teach our youth how to start and operate their own business.
YOU WILL BE CHAMPION GARDENERS AND ENTREPRENEURS
We will learn the responsibilities of being a leader: management, customer service, inventory control, bookkeeping, operations, marketing and much more. We will grow fresh produce to sell from our gardens and other farmers. We will also make things in our art class to sell.
