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.

About the Event
This will be a bilingual workshop (Spanish/English) that focuses on building a modular raised bed for a garden space. This design requires no power tools, nails screws, or glue! The materials we'll use also allow for the raised bed to be configured as needed for your space. As a bonus, attendees will also gain an introduction to managing their soil health, which is important for a healthy garden!
Taught by: Ben Stallings, Soil Ecology Educator (Kansas Permaculture Institute) and Edgar Romero Gonzalez, City Sprouts South Manager + Assistant Educator
