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.

Healthy plants and a thriving, biodiverse ecosystem cannot exist without high-quality, well supported soil. This workshop will give attendees a better understanding of how to identify and address soil needs in a way that supports the ecosystem at large through organic methods.
Time & Location
Jun 06, 2024, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
City Sprouts, 4002 Seward St, Omaha, NE 68111, USA
About the Event
Healthy plants and a thriving, biodiverse ecosystem cannot exist without high-quality, well supported soil. Traditional gardening and farming techniques focus on the needs of the plants or ecosystem without considering the state of the soil.
When we feed soil, we feed all life forms that are dependent on it including crops, perennials, microorganisms, and larger fauna. Many commercially available synthetic fertilizers are harmful to the environment and offer minimal benefits. This workshop will give attendees a better understanding of how to identify and address soil needs in a way that supports the ecosystem at large through organic methods.
Registration fees for Growing Gardeners Workshops are suggested donations of $5/person for lecture-style classes, and $10/person for value-added classes (i.e., take-home goods, cooking classes, etc.). No one will be turned away for inability to pay.
Part of City Sprouts' mission is to provide educational opportunities to the community. Please be honest about what you can afford, so we may continue to provide equitable opportunities for all. Thank you!
