growing gardeners workshops
The Growing Gardeners Workshop Series is a collaboration between City Sprouts and The Big Garden. We work together to offer four seasons of hands-on workshops that feature skills and techniques for every gardener and urban farmer: growing, cooking, preserving and eating healthy local food. All workshops are free and open to all ages.
Our workshops are broken up into three main tracks: Urban Ag School, Herbal Medicine Cabinet, and Culinary Workshops. We also have smaller workshops attached to various community events that we have throughout the year. Check out all of our workshop offerings on our Growing Gardeners website.
We love having guest teachers from our community lead workshops! Are you knowledgable about a subject that you'd like to share in a workshop? Reach out to our Education Manager and explain what skills you'd like to share.

CITY SPROUTS Community GARDEN
Community Garden
City Sprouts formed in 1995 when community members came together to reclaim an overgrown city lot and make it a garden. The group’s organizers bought the 1/2 acre lot and, with the help of hundreds of volunteers, weeds were cleared, beds were dug, and seeds planted. Today, the garden is planted each year and maintained by City Sprouts Garden Crew volunteers. Everyone is welcome to harvest fresh, in-season produce, explore the garden space, and attend a community event or workshop. The garden is open from dawn until dusk 365 days a year.
Chicken Coop
Visited by passersby, school children, and neighbors, the Chicken Coop is a City Sprouts favorite. We have 12 breeds of chickens, who lay eggs of all colors, from brown to green.
Education Center
In January 2005, a generous donor gave City Sprouts a three-story residence built in 1906, adjacent to our Community Garden. This house now serves as the City Sprouts Education Center. The second and third floors provide office space for our staff. The first floor now serves as an open room to hold lectures and workshops.
Cob Oven
New in 2018 and located in our community garden, our cob oven was constructed by natural builder Jim Schalles. It now serves as the focal point of potlucks, pizza parties, and other celebrations in the garden.
